Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded to a one-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon on U.S. Route 33 just east of Harrison Street in Lakeview, that apparently was related to the driver’s suspected drug overdose.
Deputies report Jeremy L. Lawrence, 38, of Waynesfield, was operating an eastbound vehicle on U.S. 33 when he drove off the right side of the road and struck a guardrail.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they noted that Mr. Lawrence was unconscious and his skin was starting to turn blue. His vehicle doors were locked, so a deputy broke the driver’s window and pulled Mr. Lawrence out of the vehicle and began administering CPR.
Indian Lake EMS personnel also arrived on the scene and reportedly administered two doses of Narcan to the driver. He was revived and was transported to Mary Rutan Hospital.
