Updated March 19, 2018 - 7:12 am

Las Vegas police are investigating a Monday morning rollover crash that left one person injured in the central valley.

The crash was called in just before 5 a.m. on Flamingo Road near Jones Boulevard. Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Isaac Auten said about 6 a.m. the circumstances of the crash were unclear.

At the scene, Clark County firefighters inspected an SUV sitting on its roof. The vehicle caught fire after the crash, and a light pole was damaged.

One person was hospitalized with minor injuries after the rollover, Auten said. Police continue to investigate.

Police briefly shut down westbound Flamingo Road just east of Jones while police investigated, but the road has since reopened.
