Santa Rita Fire District crews responded to calls of a rollover on southbound Interstate 19, near the Sahuarita exit, Saturday night.

Upon arrival, crews found a car on its roof with heavy damage, according to a social media post from SRFD. One of the car's occupants had been ejected, the post said.

The ejected patient was "stabilized, packaged and transported" to Banner University Medical Center - Main Campus in critical condition.

Crews also deployed a handline to cool the car, since there was smoke observed coming from the engine compartment, the post said.

An investigation into what caused the crash is ongoing.
