The man behind a serious accident last night on the Veterans Memorial Highway says he walked away with non-life-threatening injuries after the crash.

The accident closed the road for a few hours, and pictures sent to the VOCM Newsroom show a car with extensive damage thrown off the road into a wooded area.
