MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Bystanders helped Cottage Grove police early Sunday morning in freeing a woman who was trapped inside a rolled over car, authorities said.

The rollover happened shortly after 2 a.m. on the 8100 block of Hemingway Avenue. When officers and emergency crews arrived on the scene, they found a four-door sedan upside down with a 34-year-old Cottage Grove woman trapped inside, the city said Tuesday.
