DUBOIS CO, IN (WFIE) -

The driver and passenger of a truck that flipped multiple times during an accident were taken to the hospital around 6:20 a.m. Saturday morning.

The Dubois County Sheriff's Deputies say that 19-year-old James J. Norman was driving a pickup truck east bound on SR 64, just west of the Huntingburg City Lake, when the truck went left of the center line and continued off the north side of the road.  The truck hit a driveway embankment, causing the truck to go airborne.

Deputies say the passenger, 20-year-old Jacob Wilson of Orleans, was ejected from the truck when it flipped multiple times.

The sheriff's office says both Norman and Wilson were taken to Memorial Hospital where they were treated then further transported to St. Mary's in Evansville by helicopter.

The crash is still under investigation.
