Ingham County Sheriff's Deputies say a driver is recovering after his pickup truck broke apart and rolled over Saturday morning.

Deputies were called to the 900 block of W. Dansville Road just after 1:30 a.m. Investigators tell FOX 47 News the man was driving west on M-36 when he crashed. Deputies say they found pieces of the car over several blocks. The cab of the pickup truck was separated from the frame.

The 27-year-old male driver from Munith was found unresponsive and upside down in the vehicle. He was transported to Sparrow hospital for serious injuries and is in stable condition.

The crash scene spanned several miles, after the vehicle hit cable barriers, wooden posts, signs and mailboxes.

The accident was investigated by the Ingham Regional Crash Investigation Team.

Speed and alcohol are said to be factors in the crash, which still remains under investigation.
