A man drives through a soybean field in Hicksville…hitting a cement culvert…as he tried to go back onto the road. Officials tell reporters Allan Schliesser is westbound on Buckskin Road…when he goes off the right side of the roadway. He goes through the field, to re-enter the street on Rosedale Road…instead…he hits the culvert. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor. Schliesser is badly hurt in the wreck. He is flown to an area hospital. The investigation into the crash continues at this hour by both state and local officials.
