A local man was taken to Salina Regional Health Center after a single-vehicle rollover Friday morning east of Salina.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a gray 2005 Ford Escape appeared to have been eastbound on E. Crawford Street when it went off the north side of the roadway and rolled multiple times approximately 200 feet east of the intersection with S. Cunningham Road. Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene at approximately 7:47 a.m. Friday.

A passer by came upon the car and found Tercero Williams, 41, of Salina, unconscious or asleep in the backseat of the vehicle, Soldan said.

Williams appeared to have cuts from the wreck. Soldan said William wouldn't open his eyes, though he did talk to emergency responders. He was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center.

Soldan noted that there were signs of impairment. He said the sheriff's office is awaiting the results of tests to determine what sort of impairment there might have been.
