No one was injured when an SUV flipped on its side after being struck on Comstock Avenue in a Monday morning accident.

A 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 was traveling north toward University Place at about 11:15 a.m. in the right lane of Comstock when a silver Honda Civic in the left lane allegedly crossed into the right lane, cutting the Jeep off. After hitting the car, the Jeep swerved and flipped onto the curb in front of DellPlain Hall and struck a pole.

The two passengers in the Jeep, both Syracuse University students, escaped through the sunroof before police and paramedics arrived on the scene. Derrick Chafin, a junior at SU, was the driver, and said he got out by cutting his seatbelt with a knife. The airbags did not deploy.

‘They got lucky,’ said an on looking Department of Public Safety officer.

The silver car was ticketed by the Syracuse Police Department, but the responding officer would not further comment on the charges.
