Upon arrival, first responders found a black SUV that had rolled-over and crashed into a wall that was separating the roadway from a residential neighborhood.
First responders found the driver, an unidentified adult male, had suffered major injuries after veering into oncoming lanes of traffic at which time the SUV struck a curb, causing the it to roll over, sending it smashing into the wall.
A records check of the vehicle by responding deputies showed the vehicle had been reported as stolen.
