A very dangerous situation Thursday afternoon had a fortunate ending, as the passengers of an SUV walked away from a rollover accident near Monroe unharmed. Shortly before 2:30 p.m. Thursday, the westbound vehicle lost control and left the roadway near mile marker 32 on Highway 163, approximately three miles east of Monroe.

The Monroe Fire Department and Ambulance responded to the scene, and the occupants of the vehicle were checked at the scene and released. The accident was investigated by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Slick road conditions may have been a factor in the accident.
