WEBER COUNTY, Utah — A man is in critical condition after he drove into a ditch off a Weber County roadway Monday morning, according to officials Monday afternoon.
Deputies from the Weber County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle accident in the area 1500 South and 4700 West at about 9 a.m. When they arrived on scene they discovered a 56-year-old man had drifted off the roadway into a ditch, according to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office.
The man was conscious and talking when deputies arrived but then blacked out.
Fire personnel pulled the man from the vehicle and started life-saving efforts. He was later taken to an area hospital in critical condition, the post indicates.
