Car flips on Bellaire

A Tarrant County College student lost control of her car at 4:50 p.m. Thursday after taking a turn on Bellaire Drive and hitting a curb.
Ashley Griswold, 22, said that while she was not speeding, the impact with the curb caused her Nissan Xterra to flip onto its passenger side in the median across from the intramural fields.
Griswold was not injured in the wreck and Fort Worth Police and a university police car, which had been on patrol in the soccer parking lot, arrived to shut down a lane of traffic.
Chuck Griswold, Ashley’s father, said that he received a call from her shortly after she had been pulled out of the car by a passerby.
“When you have kids, it’s not a good call to get,” Chuck Griswold said.
K.C. Kleinert, a Fort Worth police officer that responded to the call, said that while anyone can have a wreck, sport utility vehicles tend to flip more often.
Ashley Griswold said that she was able to get out of the car quickly because her seat belt kept her from falling out of her seat when the car flipped.
