News has been circulating about a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport involved in an off-roading roll over –– it was able to be driven away after spending the night wheels up. No one was hurt in the accident, and the community pitched in to help with recovery.

Bronco Nation members broke the news for this site: [USER=10530]@Johnperrion[/USER] tipped us off on Instagram, and [USER=1292]@SlashRacer[/USER] and @Slownstddy shared the story in the forums, with links to the article on Motor1.com.

To summarize, the incident took place in New Mexico on Saturday night. The owner of the Sport Outer Banks doesn’t share what went down prior to the vehicle landing upside down at the bottom of a hill, but he did ask for recovery help from the Rio Rancho Off Road Facebook group.

The community was more than willing to help, and by late Sunday afternoon, with their help and tow straps, the Sport was righted and back on the hilltop. Despite the rough roll, the roof line was intact, with no crushing to the pillars. The recovery team checked the fluids, pulled and cleaned the spark plugs, and fired up the Sport on first crank –– Ford safe and tough, indeed.

You can find video of the recovery and more images in the forums.
