A high school football player is in serious but stable condition after his car rolled over Monday evening.

According to authorities the car was traveling east on 252 Street just north of Crooks when the driver lost control.

Authorities said the driver was going up a hill when he over corrected causing the 1997 Isuzu Rodeo to roll over two and a half times.

"Ejecting the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, who was a 17-year-old juvenile from Cooks, SD," said Captain James Hoekman with the Sioux Falls Police Deparment.
