A male driver was injured in a one-vehicle rollover accident on Redmond Ridge this morning.

Redmond firefighters and medics responded to the accident at about 9:47 a.m. in the 23400 block of Northeast Novelty Hill Road.

According to Redmond Fire Department Lt. Mark Freymuth, the driver lost control of his vehicle, veered off the road and rolled over onto the south shoulder of the road.

Medical personnel evaluated the driver, who was transported to the Harborview Medical Center trauma center in Seattle. Freymuth was not sure of the driver’s status at post time.

The driver was the only person in the vehicle.

Freymuth said it was windy and the road was wet at the time of the accident and he’s not sure of the cause of the accident. It was not raining at the time.

While the fire and medical units were on scene (six vehicles and about 14 people total), police directed cars onto the other shoulder of the road to allow traffic to move in both directions, Freymuth said.

Police are investigating the accident.
