A Newton man was injured in a single-vehicle accident in Jasper County yesterday morning.  27 year-old Brandon Frichtl was driving east on County Road 2100 North when he ran off the right side of the road. Frichtl’s vehicle traveled through a ditch and hit a culvert. The vehicle then began to slide sideways and overturned multiple times before coming to rest upright. Frichtl was partially ejected from the vehicle and flown to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana for treatment of his injuries. Illinois State Police cited Frichtl for driving under the influence, driving while his license was revoked, improper lane usage, failing to wear a seat belt and illegal transportation of alcohol.
