Two people were treated for injuries after a vehicle left the road and rolled 30 feet into a field near Manotick.

Emergency crews responded to a call at 4:15 a.m. Friday for a vehicle that left the road and flipped onto its side on Rideau Valley Drive, between Barnsdale Road and Bankfield Road.

The Ottawa Fire Service says it was a single-vehicle crash, with the vehicle leaving the road, rolling and landing on the driver’s side approximately 30 feet off the road in the field

“Upon further investigation, it was confirmed there were two trapped occupants inside the vehicle,” Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Nick Defazio said in a statement.

“Firefighters stabilized the vehicle and advanced a hose line as a precaution. Firefighters used specialized tools to remove the windshield and part of the roof of the vehicle to safely extricate both trapped occupants.”

The Ottawa Paramedic Service says the driver of the vehicle suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. She was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition.

A man who was the passenger in the vehicle was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
