"The vehicle traveled through the field and brush the length of a football field," according to Sheriff Allen Parsons.

Rush reportedly climbed from the truck and walked down Town Hill to Grantsville to summon help. A family member said he tried to stop several cars, but they would not stop.

Calhoun EMS responded to the accident with Sheriff Allen Parsons.
