A davenport man is in the hospital after a serious rollover crash in rural Scott County Saturday afternoon.

According to Sheriff Tim Lane, at about 3:16 p.m. on October 30, the Scott County Sheriff's Accident Investigation Team was dispatched to the scene of a crash in the 26000 block of Bluff Road near Princeton, Iowa after reports of a rollover crash.

Investigation found that the driver, a 28-year-old man from Davenport, was travelling west on the road when he failed to navigate a curve and drove straight off the road.

The car proceeded to strike a mail box, fence, and telephone, causing it to roller over and land upside down.

The driver suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries and was rushed to the hospital via helicopter.

Sheriff Lane says that the driver was not wearing his seat belt, and that alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the crash.

The incident is still under investigation.
