Two people were injured after a rollover crash in Shafter early Saturday morning, according to Shafter Police.

Two cars were involved in a collision near Lerdo Highway and Zerker Road, just west of Highway 99 around 4:40 a.m.

One car rolled over a fence. The driver was extricated and flown to a nearby hospital.

Both drivers were hospitalized for their injuries. The extent of their injuries is unclear.
