VISTA, Calif. -- A man was hospitalized Thursday and facing drunken driving charges following a rollover crash in Vista, the San Diego County sheriff's department said.

Mario Julian Jacobo Orozco was allegedly drunk when he lost control of his 2002 GMC sport utility vehicle in the 400 block of eastbound East Bobier Avenue around 7 p.m. Thursday, said San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. Dan Lopez.

Orozco struck a curb and rolled the SUV into an embankment, Lopez said, adding that he was trapped in his vehicle until he was freed by firefighters.

Orozco was flown to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido for observation, Lopez said. No one else was hurt in the crash.
