BURLINGTON, N.C. — A 20-year-old who was driving while impaired was taken to a hospital after a rollover crash in Burlington Friday night, according to police.

The Burlington Police Department, the Burlington Fire Department, and Alamance County EMS crews got a call around 9:31 p.m. about a crash with injuries on South Mebane Street near Columbine Lane. 

Gaven Bently Bush, of Greensboro, was driving a 2008 Honda Civic heading east on South Mebane Street near Flint Street. 

That's when Bush lost control of the wheel before going left the roadway, striking a utility pole, and rolling over several times. Bush was the only one in the car.
