A Dieterich teenager was injured in a weekend crash.

Effingham County Sheriff's Department said the crash occurred at 2:22pm Friday on US Route 45, a half-mile north of 500th Avenue in Watson Township. Deputies say 17-year-old Daryl McGregor attempted to turn into a private drive, but lost control of the vehicle he was driving. The vehicle struck a tree.

McGregor was injured, but refused treatment. He was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid the crash.
