Merced man flown to hospital after suffering serious injuries during a rollover crash
A Merced man was flown to an area hospital after he was hurt during a rollover crash late Friday in Merced, according to police.
Merced officers responded to a report of a rollover near East Childs Avenue and Campus Parkway at 10:41 p.m., according to a social media post by the Merced Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found a white Nissan Maxima had struck a light pole, went off the road and rolled several times.
The driver was found pinned inside, but Merced City firefighters were able to remove him from the car. He suffered serious injuries, was flown to a Modesto hospital and was in stable condition.
Officers believe the vehicle was speeding at the time of the crash. Police do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor.
Merced police are asking anyone with any information regarding this crime to contact Officer Matthew Calcagno at 209-388-7718 or by email at CalcagnoM@CityofMerced.org.
