Conifer — A car driving through a thunderstorm rolled off the side of U.S 285 near Conifer on Friday evening.
The driver of the Honda Civic lost control of the vehicle at about 6:35 p.m. near Log Trail, south of Conifer, said Elk Creek Fire Chief Tom Kennely. The car tumbled 60 to 70 feet down a steep, rocky embankment before coming to rest near a stand of trees, Kennely said.
Kennely said it was raining at the time of the accident.
The driver of the Civic, a man whose name was not released, was taken by ambulance to Littleton Adventist Hospital. His injuries are not life-threatening, Kennely said.
