MENTONE — A man escaped serious injury late Friday morning when the car he was driving flipped over on CR 200S, northeast of Mentone.

According to first responders at the scene, the man was driving westbound on CR 200S when his red Chevrolet Cobalt left the south side of the roadway, which was bordered by a steep rise. The car traveled up the rise and eventually flipped over on its top in the roadway after traveling approximately 50 feet.

The man was examined by EMS personnel at the scene and was not transported to a hospital, according to Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office personnel at the scene. A portion of the car’s front end was still visible up on the rise, while the car rested on its top in the road.
