In a tragic incident in Merced County, a man lost his life in a rollover accident that occurred in the early hours of Saturday. California Highway Patrol authorities responded to the scene on Highway 99 and Le Grand Road, south of Merced, shortly after 4 a.m.
Upon arrival at the accident scene, which involved a single vehicle, authorities discovered a deceased man.
