The crash happened just after 6:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 5 in the southbound lanes near the Calf Robe Bridge.
According to police, the dark-coloured SUV passed under railway tracks at a curve in the road when it went off to the right, striking the concrete base holding up an overhead sign and flying into the air.
