ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) – The driver of a pickup truck is in critical condition after a rollover crash left him unresponsive and lying on top of an active power line in Littlefield, Arizona on Tuesday. 

Beaver Dam Littlefield Fire Department confirmed with ABC4 that the crash happened around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4. When first responders arrived, they say they found a 34-year-old man had been ejected from his Dodge pickup truck near Lonestar Road in Littlefield.
