Rollover crash on U.S. 287 in Arlington leaves driver seriously hurt, shuts down lanes for two hours

A crash that left one person seriously injured shut down northbound U.S. 287 at Little Road on Thursday, Arlington police said.

Officers responded around 2:25 p.m. and found a 47‑year‑old man lying unresponsive in the roadway. He was significantly injured after his Jeep hit a barrier and rolled, police said. Investigators determined he wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle.

Traffic was diverted to the Turner Warnell exit while crews cleared the wreck and officers investigated. The highway reopened about two hours later.

Police asked drivers to avoid the area.

The lanes have since reopened.
