Deputies responded around 4:45 a.m. to a report of a two-vehicle crash near 307th Street on Interstate 49. They found a man who said after his vehicle was rear-ended, he drove a quarter-mile for a safe place to pull over.

The man said he never saw the other driver.

The vehicle being driven by the other person was identified by law enforcement as a tan 2002 Chevrolet Blazer.
