PLAINS – A one-vehicle rollover on Highway 28 resulted in two injuries on Friday morning.
The call came over the scanner at approximately 9:40 a.m., dispatching both Plains-Paradise Rural Fire Department and the Plains Ambulance to the scene.
The Plains backup ambulance was also dispatched to the scene.
The male occupant on the passenger side of the vehicle had to be extricated after the vehicle rolled.
Rural Fire Department officials had to take off both the front and rear door on the passenger side of the vehicle as well as the roof to remove the passenger.
"He was responsive and talking," Rural Fire Department Captain Pat Erving said.
Both occupants were conscious.
The victims were transported to Clark Fork Valley Hospital with minor injuries.
The male passenger suffered from a severe laceration to his hand, while the women had a slight head injury.
Erving took the opportunity to remind people to slow down in poor conditions.
"Again people have to learn to slow down and drive according to the road conditions," Captain Erving said. "It will take you an extra five minutes to get where you are going to."
