Royal Center, IN : Woman injured in rollover crash on U.S. 35 near North Royal Center Pike south of Royal Center on Monday night, May 9, 2016

A Winamac woman was injured in a highway rollover crash that trapped her in the front seat of a car Monday night.

First responders were dispatched to the single-vehicle crash on U.S. 35 near North Royal Center Pike south of Royal Center at about 6:20 p.m. May 9.

Cass County Sheriff's Sgt. Gary Armstrong said Donald Ortman, 72, was heading north in a silver 2009 Chevrolet Impala on U.S. 35 when the vehicle went off the east side of the road, struck a cement culvert head and rolled before coming to rest on its wheels in the intersection of the highway and North Royal Center Pike.

"It probably rolled twice," Armstrong said.

Firefighters extricated Teresa Ortman, 62, Winamac, who was trapped in the front passenger seat. Armstrong said she suffered injuries to her legs and was transported to Logansport Memorial Hospital by Prompt Ambulance Service.

Armstrong said Donald Ortman reported he may have fallen asleep while driving in the moments leading up to the crash. Donald Ortman was not seriously injured, Armstrong added.

The car toppled a road sign and lost a wheel during the crash.

When family members of the Ortmans' arrived, first responders helped transfer groceries from the totaled vehicle.

The Royal Center Fire Department, Logansport Fire Department and Indiana Department of Natural Resources also responded.
