The Baldwin County 911 Communications Center received a call reporting a serious crash on State Highway 104 near Mile Marker 4 at around 1:37 a.m.

Authorities said that the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree, entrapping the person inside.

Fairhope and Silverhill police and the Fairhope fire department responded to the scene as did a Medstar ambulance.
Fairhope firefighters had to extricate the driver from the vehicle because they were pinned in.
