One injured in drag racing accident

An overnight drag race sent one person to the hospital early this morning.

One of the two cars involved in the race flipped over and hit a median in the eastbound lanes of Woodhaven Road near Knights Road. The driver is being treated for minor injuries, and police are looking for the driver of the second car, who kept driving after the crash.
