A 17-year-old was taken the hospital early Saturday morning after a one-car wreck on the interstate, said Vicksburg police Deputy Chief Mitchell Dent.

About 3:16 a.m., Dent said, the teen was westbound on Interstate 20 when he ran off the road and into a ditch near the Clay Street exit.

Dent, who declined to give the teen’s name, said the teen told officers he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

The teen was taken to River Region Medical Center, Dent said, where he was treated and released.
