A man was seriously injured when the vehicle he was driving rolled over in the median of State Route 347 near milepost 181 Monday morning.

The accident happened at around 6:52 a.m. “for  unknown reasons,” according to Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Trooper Kameron Lee.

The incident itself did not block the highway, but the southbound lanes were closed to allow first responders to extract the driver and transport  him from the scene and to a hospital.

“His condition is unknown but does not appear right now to be life-threatening,” Lee said.

The road re-opened at 7:45 a.m.
