A pair of Two Rivers men were trapped for a time and injured late yesterday afternoon as the result of a one vehicle rollover crash in the Town of Mishicot.
According to Manitowoc County Sheriff Dan Hartwig, a 53 year old Two Rivers man was driving a 2001 Ford Escape northbound on State Highway 147, north of Sturm Road, when he failed to negotiate a curve.
The car left the roadway, overturned and came to rest in a farm field.
Both the operator and his 20 year old male passenger had to be extricated by fire department personnel who responded to the scene just before 5:00 p.m. Wednesday.
The 53-year old male was taken by Theda Star helicopter while the 20 year old man was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
The extent of injury to both occupants is unknown at this time.
The crash remains under investigation and the sheriff said preliminary information indicates that alcohol and speed were factors in the crash.
