The Highway Patrol has not released the name of a man hurt after being ejected from his pickup truck in a serious single vehicle rollover accident Thursday night near Clayton. A Chevy truck ran off Old Garner Road near the Johnston-Wake County line around 7:20pm. The driver was ejected as the truck overturned several times. The driver was rushed to WakeMed by EMS crews. Firefighters said the accident was so violent it knocked bark off a tree, eight feet in the air, as the truck tumbled past. Troopers are still investigating.
