No one was injured, but traffic on S.R. 43 was backed up from River Bend Boulevard in Kent to Ravenna Road in Franklin Township just before 3 p.m. Monday after a car rolled over just north of Theodore Roosevelt High School. Witnesses said a cable company crew was doing work in the area as the car approached. It apparently rolled over after attempting to go around the work site, witnesses said. The driver, who was the lone occupant of the car, refused treatment by paramedics at the scene, according to Kent Fire Capt. Chuck Palmer. It is unknown if the driver of the car will be cited, as Kent police had no additional information on the crash at press time.

Yes , my source said he hit the ramp on the truck- probably the one in the picture! Kind of like the doofus who drove the Porsche into the wet cement; trying to go around construction. That was on the national MSN or something.

I wouldn't say he's OK. I'd say he is an idiot who should be cited.

He did hit the ramp and swipe the side of the work truck. how else did it just flip over on a flat paved road? It was like a movie scene! The driver was hot doggin it and changed lanes(from left strait ln to rt outside ln) because it goes into 2 lanes in front of Davey tree heading into kent, when he came around the right side of the car in front of him all he seen was that work trailer and drove over the orange cones and up half the ramp and went airborne. he then crawled out of his passenger side window. his head was bleeding but he was OK.
