Two people and their dog escaped serious injury when their car rolled over on the Yucca Grade Monday morning. Morongo Valley Deputy Fire Chief Jim Brakebill said just after 10:30 a.m., a man was driving his 2015 Toyota Prius eastbound on the highway when he started getting a headache. Next thing he knew, the car had gone off the road and landed upside down just west of the Hi-Desert Rod and Gun Club. Morongo Valley firefighters had to cut the seatbelts to get the driver and his wife out of the car. The driver was taken by Morongo Basin Ambulance to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs with scrapes and contusions; his wife was not injured. The dog was shaken up and friends took the dog to the vet to be checked out. The California Highway Patrol is investigating.
