Two people were treated for injuries after a vehicle left the road and rolled 30 feet into a field near Manotick.
Emergency crews responded to a call at 4:15 a.m. Friday for a vehicle that left the road and flipped onto its side on Rideau Valley Drive, between Barnsdale Road and Blankfield Road.
The Ottawa Fire Service says it was a single-vehicle crash, with the vehicle leaving the road, rolling and landing on the driver's side approximately 30 feet off the road in the field
'Upon further investigation, it was confirmed there were two trapped occupants inside the vehicle,' Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Nick Defazio said in a statement.
