ST. GEORGE — A 24-year-old man was trapped under a car overnight before a passing motorist discovered him Thursday morning and called police.
He spent more than 9 hours pinned by the front driver’s side tire, Iron County Sheriff’s Lt. Del Schlosser said.
The man was flown to the hospital in critical condition.
Shortly after 6 a.m. deputies and emergency medical personnel responded to a parking lot outside a business near 3000 East and 1600 South in Beryl on a report of a man found trapped under a vehicle, Schlosser said.
The man was discovered by a passing motorist who stopped and called 911 before moving the vehicle off of the injured man.
The motorist told deputies that the man was conscious and able to speak when he initially found him, which is when he learned that the man became trapped under the car at about 9 p.m. the night before, Schlosser said.
