A man who suffered a diabetic episode and crashed his vehicle on a dead-end road was transported to the Montgomery County Hospital Friday morning. According to Red Oak Police, at around 9-a.m., officers received word that a vehicle was trying to pass through a fence in the 1600 block of north 5th Street. When they arrived, they found 60-year old Bryan Platt, of Red Oak, slumped over in his 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup.

Officials say Red Oak Rescue arrived and transported the man to the hospital. They say he was not injured when the pickup went out of control and hit a Dead End sign and a fence. Following the collision, and due to the medical episode, Platt continued to press on the accelerator, but the fence prevented the vehicle from moving forward.

Damage from the incident amounted to a little more than $2,700.
