Clark County sheriff’s deputies and EMS responders were dispatched about 8:15 a.m. to the 21800 block of Northeast Lucia Falls Road for a report of a rollover crash, according to a news release from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

The first deputy to arrive at the scene found a Dodge pickup off the road on its side. The pickup had struck a tree on the driver’s side roof, causing significant damage to the vehicle, the news release states.
