At least one person was trapped Thursday afternoon after a vehicle went off the roadway and overturned onto its roof near Sierra Highway and Davenport Road in Santa Clarita, according to California Highway Patrol logs.

The crash was reported just before 4 p.m., when callers told CHP a dark-colored pickup truck had overturned and landed on its roof. Officials said the vehicle, identified as a water truck, traveled through a field, broke through a fence and ultimately came to rest in a ditch.

CHP logs indicate the male driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle after experiencing brake issues. 

“The patient was flown to Henry Mayo in critical condition,” said Capt. Brian Kight, Public Information Officer for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Bystanders were seen attempting to assist the driver out of the overturned vehicle before emergency responders arrived, according to initial reports. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
