The investigation so far revealed that the red compact car was headed north in the 4300 block of S. Jackson St. when the car rammed a utility pole and rolled over in the crash, trapping the driver. No other vehicles were involved.
Loudermilk said that his next step in the investigation is to visit with the injured driver at Shannon.
