Update: Burrillville man in serious condition after crash

GLOCESTER – A 27-year-old Burrillville man was seriously injured early this morning when he lost control of his Jeep on a curve.

The police say Eric Johnson, of Victory Highway, was driving westbound on Putnam Pike around 1:10 a.m. when he rolled his 2004 Jeep near the intersection of Chestnut Hill Road, according to a preliminary police investigation.

Johnson is in serious condition at Rhode Island Hospital this morning, spokeswoman Andrea Barbosa said.

The Jeep struck a guardrail before coming to rest on the driver's side, according to a news release issued by Police Lt. Joseph V. Mattera.

The Chepachet Fire Department transported Johnson to Rhode Island Hospital, according to Mattera. Glocester Patrolmen Charles Entwistle and Jeffrey Jenison are investigating the accident.
