A female driver was transported to Drumheller Hospital Wednesday evening following a single vehicle rollover on the Carbon Hill (S.R. 575) on Wednesday evening, July 24.
Apparently she was distracted for a moment, and hit the guardrail as she reached the crest of the hill. A door was ripped off as a result of the impact, and the late model truck she was driving rolled in the north ditch.
Drumheller Emergency Services responded to the scene at approximately 8:15 p.m., and traffic was halted while the area was cleaned up by fire crews. A second truck, though not involved in the incident, was coming down the hill and had to take sudden evasive action to avoid other traffic, electing to hit the ditch, re-entering the road, and finally stopping on an approach road. Weather was clear at the time and not a factor in the accident.
Extent of injuries to the driver is not known at this time.
