Crestview man injured in Jackson County car wreck

A Crestview man has serious injuries after his vehicle overturned around 3:10 p.m. Feb. 10 in Jackson County. 

Jelterow McKinnie, 70, was driving eastbound on Interstate 10, near State Road 69, when his vehicle traveled left onto the median, according to a Florida Highway Patrol media release.

McKinnie overcorrected the steering to the right, which caused the 2007 Ford van to cross both eastbound lanes, then overturn, landing on its left side on the grassy outside shoulder, according to the FHP. 

He is receiving treatment at Southeast Medical Center.

His passenger, Lori Ann Morgia, 52, of Crestview, was uninjured, according to the FHP.

Both the driver and passenger were wearing their seat belts, and an alcohol investigation is pending, according to the release.
