Two injured in rollover crash on I-8 in the Foothills

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Rural Metro says they rescued two people after they were injured in a rollover crash Sunday morning.

According to a post on Facebook, the crash happened before 7:00 a.m. in the area of westbound Interstate 8 and milepost 13, near the Fortuna Road exit.

Rural Metro says their crews reported the crash to their dispatch center "and got the apparatuses while the station captain ran to the scene and began to assess the situation," where he found a single vehicle rollover with severe damage and with two people trapped inside.

Rural Metro says the captain requested additional resources while the crew began removing the two people.

After they were removed, Rural Metro says they were taken to Onvida Main with minor injuries.

Rural Metro says the cause of the crash was due to the driver "swerving to avoid an object falling off a truck on the interstate and striking the road sign, resulting in a piece going through the fence onto the Frontage Road."
