WATER VALLEY, TX — A Chevrolet Blazer rolled across multiple lanes of traffic north of San Angelo on U.S. 87 north Saturday afternoon.
According to the Texas DPS, the Chevy Blazer, with a male driver and a single male passenger, was northbound. The driver veered the Blazer off the roadway and into the median for reasons not known. Then, the driver overcorrected several times, sending the Blazer into a roll.
The Blazer rolled “multiple times,” DPS said, and across the southbound lanes into the barrow ditch on the opposite side of the 4-lane divided highway.
