By edhat staff

A motorist is injured following a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 101 just south of Los Alamos Tuesday morning.

At 9:33 a.m., Santa Barbara County firefighters responded to the northbound lanes and discovered a badly damaged SUV on its side with a single occupant driver trapped inside.

It appeared as if the vehicle struck a tree and rolled over and it took approximately ten minutes to free the driver from the vehicle, according to SBCFD spokesperson Mike Eliason. 

The male driver sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria. 

California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of this collision.
