A driver was unhurt after her SUV rolled down an embankment along a West Boundary stretch of Highway 3 Tuesday, Feb. 15.
Initial reports said the driver was trapped inside, prompting a rescue call to Midway Fire and Rescue at around 9:30 a.m., Fire Chief Mike Daloise said.

The SUV left the highway near the intersection of Boundary Creek Road, a short distance north of Greenwood. The vehicle landed on the passenger side, coming to a rest against a small tree that kept it from rolling into the creek below. The driver managed to climb out of the SUV and was later attended by BC Emergency Health Service paramedics.
She did not appear to be seriously hurt, Daloise said.
Firefighters then taped off the scene, signalling to passersby that the collision had been dealt with.
The SUV was later towed, leaving behind no fluid spills, Daloise said.
The driver had been the sole passenger in the SUV, he added.
