Green Valley firefighters rescued a trapped motorist from a wreck early Friday morning.

According to the department, the crash was on southbound I-19 near Continental Road in Green Valley. Three vehicles were involved. An SUV was stopped on the shoulder of the overpass when it was hit from behind by another vehicle going south on I-19. 

The SUV went over the guardrail and dropped onto the roadway underneath the overpass. Firefighters pulled the motorist, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, from the vehicle. 

The other driver was treated at the scene.

A third vehicle going south on I-19 crashed into the median to avoid the other two vehicles. That drive is also being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
