Bonneville speed week driver injured in crash

TOOELE, Utah -- A speed week driver at the Bonneville Salt Flats was hurt when his vehicle crashed and rolled at 244 mph, a Tooele County sheriff's dispatcher said.

The crash occurred Thursday. The driver was cut from the vehicle
and flown to a hospital.

His name was not released, and his condition could not be
determined Friday.

A dispatcher at the sheriff's office would provide no additional
details.

The Southern California Timing Association, which sponsors the
speed trials, did not immediately return a call Friday.
