A man was flown to a Monroeville hospital after his sport utility vehicle crashed Tuesday morning in Indiana County.
The wreck happened before 9:45 a.m. on Route 286 in Conemaugh Township, about a mile east of Clarksburg.
Crews had to free the man from his Ford Escape, which was totaled after it went over an embankment, continued into a ditch and struck a tree, coming to rest on its side, according to Saltsburg Fire Chief John Dice.
The man, who was the sole occupant, was conscious, he said. A medical helicopter landed at the Clarksburg ball field and flew the man to Forbes Hospital for treatment.
State police were investigating. Firefighters from Tunnelton, Iselin and Coal Run-McIntyre assisted, along with Lifestat Ambulance Service.
Additional details weren’t immediately available.
