AMERICAN FORK — Crews were working to get the driver of a car freed Thursday morning after it rolled over on state Route 92, according to Utah Highway Patrol.
Lt. Cameron Roden said at approximately 6 a.m., the car rolled over off the road and down a ravine, landing upside-down. A tree then fell on top of it, and Roden said it was blocking the roadway at mile marker 10 near the Swinging Bridge Picnic Area.

It wasn’t until just before 10 a.m. that Lone Peak Fire District said the driver had been successfully freed and taken to the hospital by helicopter. Details of their possible injuries were not provided.
Roden said there was only one occupant in the car, and the extrication had taken that long because of the difficult spot the car landed in.
Route 92 was closed for approximately four hours.
