Drive Flips Car on Way to Work, Seatbelt Prevents Tragedy

Details are a bit sketchy, but we do know, by way of West Richland police, that seatbelts probably kept this driver from being seriously hurt or killed.

Around 3:45am Sunday morning on Ruppert Road, the male driver of this car lost control and flipped his vehicle on his way to work.

Police did not say why the driver lost control, but no mention was made of any citations.

They did say that because the driver was buckled, he didn't receive any serious injuries. Had he not been, likely they would have been ejected as often happens in rollover crashes.
