Four people were taken to the hospital after their vehicle went off the road and landed upside down in a ditch near Five Mile Road and Waikiki Road around 3 a.m. on Thursday morning.
An initial investigation indicated that the car was speeding east on Five Mile Road when the driver lost control at a curve and crossed over Waikiki, crashing into the ditch. All four occupants are adults, a news release from the sheriff’s office said.
Impairment was a likely factor in the crash, the sheriff’s office said. The crash is still under investigation.
That portion of Waikiki was closed until a little before 9 a.m. Thursday morning.
