The driver of a van in Muhlenberg County was extremely fortunate to survive a single-vehicle wreck this morning.

State Police say 29-year old Rory Dorris of Dunmor was southbound on Kentucky 431 around 7:30 when his tires dropped off the right side of the roadway, causing him to lose control and overturn several times.

Dorris was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle which came to rest upright, trapping him underneath. First responders were able to use mechanical means to free him from the wreckage and Dorris was taken by ambulance to Muhlenberg Community Hospital for what police believe is only a possible broken leg.
