A Spotsylvania man was arrested early Thursday morning after he failed to navigate a T-intersection in Stafford County, sending his vehicle off-road and into a backyard.

According to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash on Woodford Drive around 3:15 a.m. on February 13. The incident, however, began at the intersection of Primmer House Road and Leeland Road, where the driver was traveling eastbound on Primmer House Road. Instead of turning left or right at the intersection, Woodyard’s vehicle continued straight, going down an embankment and coming to rest in the backyard of a residence.
