Whitefish man hurt in rollover

A 28-year-old Whitefish man is in stable condition after sustaining serious injuries in a one-vehicle rollover on U.S. 93 north of Olney Saturday morning. Montana Highway Patrol responded to the 6:22 a.m. call and found the driver pinned beneath his Chevrolet Silverado.

He remained in the intensive care unit there on Sunday. Montana Highway Patrol is investigating the accident. Charges are pending.
