(TROPIC) – A Tropic woman was taken to the hospital with possible injuries in a vehicle rollover on SR-12 west of Tropic Wednesday night. According to a UHP report, 37-year old Matthew Lagasse of Tropic was traveling eastbound in a 1987 Suzuki Samurai, when he was hit by 21-year old Kaleb McInelly of Bryce Canyon, traveling southbound on SR-12 at about 6:15pm. UHP said McInelly was stopped at a stop sign on John’s Valley Road and while proceeding through the intersection, was blinded by sunlight and hit Lagasse. The impact caused Lagasse to roll and his passenger, 43-year old, Tena Lagasse, also of Tropic, was transported to the Garfield Memorial Hospital with possible injuries. She was wearing her seatbelt, along with Matthew, who was not injured in the accident. McInelly, driving a 2006 GMC Sierra, was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured. He was cited for failure to yield.
