A westbound insulation company truck overturned Thursday on U.S. Highway 160 after being passed by another vehicle.<\/p>\n

The driver and passenger of the truck were unharmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re more shaken than anything,\u201d said the driver Michael Shinskey, a foreman with May Insulation Inc.<\/p>\n

A little after 10 a.m., the truck was westbound along U.S. Highway 160 between Cortez and Mesa Verde National Park, Shinskey said. He noticed a vehicle driving closely behind him, around mile marker 44. It then passed him.<\/p>\n

After passing the truck, though, the car braked, and Shinskey swerved off the road tipped onto its side. The car then drove off, he said.<\/p>\n

Shinskey and passenger Troy Klah climbed out the truck and were evaluated by emergency medical services responders.<\/p>\n
