An Effingham man was injured in a single-vehicle crash Friday morning.

Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports a van driven by 25-year-old Nicholas Lechman was traveling on North Cardinal Lane, just north of East Robin Drive near Lake Sara at 7:22am. Lechman told deputies he swerved to miss an animal on the roadway and lost control of his vehicle. The unit ran off the roadway and rolled over.

Lechman was injured, but declined treatment. He was cited for DUI, illegal transportation of alcohol, possession of less than 2.5 grams of cannabis, failure to reduce speed to avoid the crash, and no insurance.
