A Phoenix police officer was critically injured early today when he rolled his patrol car in south Phoenix while on a trouble call.

Police said the accident occurred around 1 a.m. on Baseline Road but they don't know what happened.

A passer-by found the overturned patrol car. Police said it was a single-vehicle accident.

The officer is at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center with what a police spokeswoman said are life-threatening injuries.

Baseline Road was closed between 27th and 35th avenues early today due to the police investigation into the accident.
