It appeared the vehicle had attempted to navigate a curve at a high rate of speed, left the roadway, hit a fence and rolled, deputies said. Meahl has since been released from the Bartholomew County Jail, jail officials said.
The Clifford Fire Department and Columbus Regional Hospital emergency services assisted sheriff’s deputies at the scene.
