A vehicle rolled 1 1/2 times after leaving Upper Fords Creek Rd. on a turn Saturday morning, according to Clearwater County Sheriff's Department records.

Scott Schilling was driving downhill. As he came around a right hand corner, his vehicle began to slide towards the right shoulder of the roadway. He then turned the front tires to the left and lightly braked. The tires then grabbed traction and shot the vehicle off the left side of the roadway. It traveled down the hill 82 feet and came to rest on the passenger side, the report said.

Schilling's estimated speed was between 15-20 miles per hour. The vehicle had large over-size tires and the roadway was slick, the report concluded.
