WEST ODESSA-The Odessa Department of Public Safety is working a rollover on I-20 near FM 1936.
Sgt. Hunter Lewis of Odessa DPS says the driver of a 2003 GMC 4-door pickup was ejected from his vehicle after a rollover.
The unidentified man was transported to Medical Center Hospital with serious injuries.
The driver was traveling westbound on I-20 and drove into the center median, overcorrected and skidded across the road onto the north service road.
The truck then hit a curb, rolled and the driver was ejected.
It happened near the Red X truck stop. The vehicle did not hit the truck stop, but did strike a pipe fence and debris near its sign.
Lewis says alcohol is likely a factor in the crash.
