One injured in rollover crash near H.L. Suverkrup Elementary School

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a rollover crash which left one person seriously injured.

According to a press release, the crash happened after midnight Friday in the area of W. 16th Street and S. Avenue C, near H.L. Suverkrup Elementary School.

YPD says a 33-year-old man was driving a Nissan Altima westbound on 16th Street when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to rollover multiple times through the school's parking lot, ejecting the driver.

The Nissan then stopped at the school's playground, and YPD says the driver was the only person inside the vehicle.

YPD also says the driver was taken to Onvida Health, but was later flown to a Phoenix area hospital due to serious injuries.

While speed and impairment appear to be factors in the crash, the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information regarding the case, call YPD at 928-783-4421, or 78-CRIME at 928-782-7463 to remain anonymous.
