A Willows man was hospitalized with major injuries after rolling his Nissan on County Road 24 at County Road U late Thursday night.
He was also arrested on charges alleging driving while under the influence.
According to Officer Gilliam of the Willows office of the California Highway Patrol, at 9:45 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 18, Jesus Alejandro Palafox, 26, of Willows, was driving a 2003 Nissan west on County Road 24, east of County Road U, at 65 miles per hour.
As he traveled, he allowed his vehicle to leave the south side of the roadway.
While on the eastbound shoulder, he turned the steering wheel back to the right, which caused the Nissan to overturn several times prior to coming to rest on its roof south of Road 24.
Palafox was able to free himself from the vehicle and he remained on scene until the CHP arrived.
It was determined Palafox was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested for allegedly driving while under the influence, then released for treatment of his injuries.
He was transported with major injuries to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.
According to the CHP, he was wearing his seatbelts at the time of the accident.
