Man Injured In Rollover Crash Dies From Injuries

The driver of an SUV that rolled over and came to rest on railroad tracks Sunday has died from his injuries, police said Wednesday.

Manuel Medrano, 22, was driving a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer north on the 3900 block of Doniphan Drive when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll over several times and come to a rest on top of the railroad tracks that run parallel to Doniphan, investigators said.

Medrano was taken to University Medical Center shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday. Police said he was wearing a seat belt.

Medrano’s death is the 50th traffic-related death of 2011, compared with 51 at this time in 2010.
