Engine 50 and Squad 50 of Newton responded with Ambulance 160 (CCEMS) , Squad 71 (Logan) and Squad 130 (Trenton) to a one vehicle rollover on SR 23 between Newton and Cache Junction.

As Newton EMT’s arrived they could see that the occupant was now out of the vehicle and requested a cancellation for Squad 130 now that extrication was no longer needed.
One patient was evaluated by EMS personnel and was transported by Ambulance 160 to a local hospital with Squad 71’s Paramedics assisting. Squad 50 was released while Engine 50 remained on scene until it was determined that fluid cleanup was not needed.
All fire and EMS units have left the scene and the accident is under investigation by Utah Highway Patrol Troopers.
