responded to reports of a Jeep that rolled off and down several switchbacks from Black Bear Pass onto Bridal Veil Road in Telluride. The 22yr old male, who was the driver of the Jeep Wrangler Sport, told Deputies he had shut off the engine, applied the emergency brake and stepped out of the vehicle to help direct a driver behind him around a tight turn. The Jeep started to roll with his 23yr old female friend in the passenger seat. He tried to jump back into the vehicle to try and steer it, but he was thrown into rocks when it left the road. The Jeep rolled down several switchbacks, ejecting the passenger before coming to a rest on the roadway. Both patients, who are from the Durango area, were taken by EMS to the Telluride Medical Center; he with minor injuries, and she with more serious traumatic injuries. She was then flown by Careflight to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction.
