One person was killed and another seriously injured Friday in a rollover crash involving an SUV south of Hemet.

The fatality occurred about 3:50 p.m. near the intersection of Minto Way and Sage Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The agency said a Lincoln Navigator was traveling at an unknown speed when the driver evidently lost control, causing the SUV to overturn alongside Minto.

No other details were immediately available.

Riverside County Fire Department engine crews reached the location just after 4 p.m. and discovered the two victims trapped inside the vehicle.

Firefighters extricated the parties, whose identities were not disclosed, and pronounced one dead at the scene.

The other victim was taken to a regional trauma center for treatment of major injuries.

No lane closures were required as a result of the crash, which was under investigation.
