A Hayward man was seriously injured in a rollover crash on U.S. Highway 101 in Palo Alto this afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The CHP responded to reports of a silver Mitsubishi Lancer that collided with sand-filled attenuator barrels near an off-ramp at San Antonio Road at about 12:55 p.m., CHP Officer Art Montiel said.

The vehicle overturned several times and came to rest on its roof in the northbound lanes, Montiel said.
