(PLEASANT TOWNSHIP) – A Fremont man was injured in a one vehicle accident in Pleasant Township.

The Steuben County Sheriff's Department was called Tuesday morning to an accident on State Road 127 near County Road 400 North. Deputies say 70 year old Daniel Worthman was driving north on State Road 127 at a high rate of speed, when his vehicle drifted off the east side of the road. It's believed Worthman over-corrected, then went off the road to the west and down a steep embankment.

Worthman had cuts to his face and was taken by ambulance to a Fort Wayne hospital in serious condition. He was wearing his seat belt at the time and the airbags did not activate.

Investigators say it's possible a medical event happened that may have contributed to the crash. The incident remains under investigation.

Assisting at the scene were the Angola Police Department, Angola Fire Rescue, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division and Steuben County EMS.
