A driver was seriously injured Tuesday in a rollover crash on Highway 101 near Gaviota, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
The accident occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes just north of Highway 1, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Ford Explorer overturned several times and came to rest in a ditch off the roadway, the CHP said.

She reportedly suffered head and leg injuries, but her name and condition were not available.
The crash was under investigation by the CHP.
