Emergency dispatchers received a call about the incident around 2:40 p.m.Reports show the vehicle crossed the center line and entered the southbound traffic near 3200 South before it veered off the roadway, traveled over a ditch and landed upside down in a field just yards from the highway’s edge.“It appears that they fell asleep,” said Mouritsen. “The driver got out and the passenger crawled out the window.”*Mouritsen said the occupants suffered only some minor cuts and bruises from the incident. Paramedics were on scene and transported both men to Logan Regional Hospital.Mouritsen did not immediately release the names of the two men after the crash.Wayne Nelson, a motorist who witnessed the incident, got out of his car to assist the two men.No other vehicles were involved. UHP officials monitored traffic around the crash site until a tow truck cleared the overturned vehicle which also damaged a small section of fence.Vibe looks pretyt messed up, yet "occupants suffered only some minor cuts and bruises "
