Zakobe Fead, 17, of Greenville, was traveling east on Little Cat Road, when the right side tires of his 2006 Nissan Altima traveled onto the shoulder. Fead's attempts at correcting the path of his vehicle resulted in him oversteering to the left, which caused his Altima to spin and eventually roll over.

Zakobe Ellias Ryheem Fead, 17, of Greenville, was lucky after suffering a roll-over and getting out of the wreck without injuries.
On Thursday, July 14, Fead was traveling east on Little Cat Rd. (CR 146), when the right side of his vehicle's tires began to travel off the right side of the roadway onto the shoulder.
Fead then overcorrected when he attempted to bring his vehicle fully back on the roadway, and the overcorrection caused his 2006 Nissan Altima to rotate in a counterclockwise direction and travel in a northeast direction.
According to reports from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), Fead's vehicle traveled across the centerline and into the westbound travel lane.
Fead's vehicle continued to travel southeast until his vehicle came up onto the south shoulder of the road and overturned onto the roof of the vehicle, where it came to its final rest.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office, Madison Fire Rescue, Madison County EMS and FHP were all on scene to provide assistance.
Roll-overs can often result in injuries that range from mild to severe or require medical support for the drivers and passengers of the wreck. Fead, however, escaped the wreck with no injuries, according to FHP reports. However, the damage to his car was extensive.
Fead is facing charges of failure to maintain his lane of travel.
