A mid-sized SUV traveling west on John R Rice Boulevard ran off the roadway this past Sunday and nearly onto I-24 East. Motorist driving on I-24 were likely startled to see the SUV overturn onto the dividing fence and tree line between the secondary road and the interstate.

Fire crews that arrived on the scene say it appeared as if the vehicle went off the edge of the pavement and rolled over, coming to rest up right in the tree line that borders John R. Rice Blvd.
