Aaron Dale Crawford, 24, was reported missing on Monday. On Sunday, Highway Patrol investigated a wreck involving Crawford's car on Chase High Road in Forest City. A witness to the wreck saw Crawford, of Rutherfordton, run off into the woods after slamming his pickup truck truck into a utility pole. He has not been seen or heard from since. It's unclear whether he was injured in the accident, which totaled his truck. Family said Tuesday they have been searching the woods, homes, and knocking on the doors of Crawford's friends over the last two days. "If he could just please find a way to let me know he's okay, he's okay, he's alive. And he's warm and he's fed and he's okay," Aarons's mother, Tammy Crawford, said." There's no one going to be mad at him and we just want to know he's okay, we want him back home." Crawford is 5'8", weighs around 160 pounds and was last seen wearing black coveralls, a gray Dickies jacket and a black and yellow Steelers ball cap. Anyone with information is asked to call the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office 828-286-2911 or Crime Stoppers at 828-286-8477. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
