A car flipped onto its roof in Chilmark over the weekend. —Charles Pinck

No one was injured after a 2019 Honda Civic flipped onto its roof in Chilmark Saturday afternoon on Swans Way.

According to Chilmark Police Chief Sean Slavin, a 22-year-old Edgartown man fell asleep at the wheel while heading down-Island. The car struck a utility pole with the passenger-side wheel before flipping over. 

Slavin told The Times no drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident. The driver said he was tired from a lot of work. 

“He was seat-belted … but not injured,” Slavin said. 

The individual was charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle without a license, and a marked lanes violation.
