Multiple 9-1-1 callers reported a single-vehicle rollover collision. The driver had reportedly been ejected.
Responding units located the vehicle, a 2005 Ford Ranger, on its side with extensive damage. The injured driver was on the roadway a short distance away. Medical personnel tended to the driver, who was transported to a local hospital. The driver is not being identified at this time but is reported to be in critical condition.
