A rollover crash in downtown St. Joseph sent two people to the hospital Friday afternoon.

Officer Lucas Winder with the St. Joseph Police Department said the crash took place around 2:30 p.m. in which a pedestrian was hit by the vehicle.  The St. Joseph Fire Department was called for extrication. Winder said both the pedestrian and the driver were transported by ambulance with unknown injuries.

Jordan Fueston said he met the driver of the car a short time earlier at the post office.

“He was trying to get to his home in Olathe.  He couldn’t read any maps or directions and so I was just going to guide him down there.  He was following me,” Fueston said. “We were getting ready to get on 229 and he was behind me.  I didn’t see what happened I heard the sound and looked in the back and I saw the car flip up.”

Chris Martin said he was working downtown and witnessed the whole incident. Martin said the driver of the blue car was heading north on 4th Street and cut the corner too hard hitting the curb then veered off to the right, hit the wall and flipped over. He said when he and a fellow coworker went to go help the driver they found another man laying in front of the car.

Winder said the crash is still under investigation.
