A driver escaped injury Thursday evening when the vehicle they were driving overturned on Washington Street in downtown Clarkesville. The Toyota 4Runner landed on its side in the front yard of the old historic Charm House.

According to police, the driver was the only person inside the vehicle. Initial reports indicated the 4Runner blew a tire, causing it to wreck; however, the tires were intact when the vehicle was brought upright.
