UPDATE: Flipped-car crash on SW Dawson

3:08 AM: It’s not a huge response because those in the vehicle are reported to have gotten out safely, but a “rollover” crash is reported in the 1900 block of SW Dawson [vicinity map], the precarious section of road where it bends along a ravine. No other details.

3:16 AM: SFD is already leaving the scene, after its crew reported finding a “partial rollover” and that no one was there to treat – “everyone left.”

3:42 AM: Officers just told dispatch they’re blocking both lanes of Dawson as they prepare to get the vehicle towed, and that there’s a fluid spill SDOT should clean up.

4:02 AM: The street has reopened both ways.

    Uh, precarious? There are houses there on both sides of the road and it a straight section. It gets a little challenging because it is slightly downhill. Mind you, my 16 year old who has been driving for a year now manages it very easily. But, things are different when under the influence, I’m guessing.

      Subjective, I guess, but that curve always makes me nervous, especially with the drop into the ravine. I don’t know where exactly on the block the incident happened but somewhere near the 16th-into-Dawson curve.
