A St. Joseph man was ticketed after flipping his vehicle on South Belt Highway Wednesday afternoon.
According to Sgt. Chris McBane with the St. Joseph Police Department emergency crews responded to South Belt Highway before the 36 Highway Overpass around 3:40 p.m. McBane said a 30-year-old St. Joseph man was driving his 2003 GMC Envoy northbound on Belt Highway in the left-hand lane when he ran into the back of a Semi (cab only) in the right hand lane also traveling northbound driven by a 52-year-old St. Joseph man. He said the driver of the Envoy actually ended up driving up onto the semi’s back tire causing the Envoy to flip-over.
McBane said no one was injured and the highway remained open except for a short period of time when the southbound lane was closed to flip the Envoy back onto its tires.
The driver of the Envoy was issued two tickets, one for no driver’s license and a second for careless driving.
