According to OFR, both drivers were able to walk, though the Jeep’s driver required assistance exiting the overturned vehicle. Crews used the broken sunroof’s opening to help remove the driver from the vehicle.

The driver of the Jeep was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the accident. No other injuries were reported.
