A Lima man was injured in a one vehicle roll over crash that occurred in Allen County Monday night.

According to a report from the Lima Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, 31-year-old Parker Roach was driving south on State Route 65 in Perry Township, when he swerved to the right to avoid hitting a deer.

Roach then overcorrected, and the vehicle crossed the centerline and ended up off the left side of the road where it struck the ditch and overturned.

Roach was transported to Lima Memorial Hospital for treatment of suspected minor injuries.
