On February 18th, 2015, at about 8:45 pm, Drumheller RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover on Highway 27 at Morrin Hill.
Drumheller EMS and Morrin Fire Department also responded.
Investigation revealed a Chevrolet Tahoe was travelling westbound on Highway 27 and began descending Morrin Hill. The poor weather conditions resulted in extremely slippery road surface, causing the driver to lose control.
The Tahoe struck a guard rail then flipped and rolled into a ravine. Fortunately both occupants were wearing their seatbelts which minimized their injuries.
The 39 year old male driver and the 42 year old male passenger, both from Saskatchewan, sustained minor injuries and were transported to Drumheller Health Centre for assessments. Alcohol was not a factor and no charges are being laid.
Police remind motorists to adjust their driving to the road conditions, which are subject to change quickly here in Alberta.
