DEERFIELD - A naked 72-year-old Vermont man escaped injury Thursday afternoon after he rolled his pickup truck while driving out of a popular swimming area off Stillwater Road, police said.

Police, in a post on the department's Facebook page, wrote that the accident occurred about 1:30 p.m. Fire and EMS personnel also responded to the scene.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The post does not identify the man and police could not be immediately reached for comment Friday morning.

It appears, from a photo posted on the page, that the pickup rolled off an embankment and landed squarely upside down next to a small stream.
