Roll over
The driver of this van said he fell asleep when it left the road and rolled on its top at 9:15 this morning. Ohio State Highway Patrol Sgt.

The driver was taken to Knox Community Hospital for treatment by the Eastern Knox County Joint Fire District squad. His name was not available at press time. (Virgil Shipley)
