Trooper Chapman, of the Wyoming High Patrol, and EMTs Kandi Starr and James Smith assess the condition of Aleck Freeman after he rolled his car on Highway 130/230 north of Saratoga.
Wearing a seatbelt likely saved Aleck Freeman's life, according to Wyoming Highway Patrolman Regina Schulmeister. Freeman, of Hanna, was traveling north on Wyo. Highway 130/230 Sunday at approximately 12:30 pm when he lost control of his car, crossed over the southbound lane and rolled the vehicle into the median a few miles north of the Overland Trail marker.
Freeman, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was taken to Carbon County Memorial Hospital after being treated at the scene by the Saratoga based crew of South Central Wyoming Emergeny Medical Service.
Schulmeister, of the Wyoming Highway Patrol, said that preliminary evidence indicated that there was no alcohol involved and that Freeman was released from the hospital with only minor injuries.
Freeman was coherent enough to call 911. He also called Saratoga resident Lance Grubb to come help him at the scene. As of Monday afternoon, the accident is still under investigation.
