A semi-trailer crash in Hamilton County Friday morning injured one man.

Illinois State Police say in a press release that 56-year-old Christopher L. Littlejohn of Belleville was driving southbound on Illinois Route 242 one half mile north of Blairsville Road Friday when he began to leave the roadway. Littlejohn overcorrected and crossed into the northbound lane, left the road on the east side of the roadway and overturned. Once off the roadway, police say the vehicle struck a steel utility pole.

Littlejohn was taken to an area hospital via ambulance for his injuries. He was cited for improper lane usage.
