(Single vehicle roll-over)…With a bit of a mystery.

It was reported to the California Highway Patrol at 5:52 Friday morning. It reportedly occurred on eastbound Interstate 8, about 5 miles east of Ocotillo. CHP arrived to find a Ford Explorer in the center divider. The Highway Patrol says reports indicate the vehicle had rolled a few times. The mystery is that there was nobody inside the vehicle, or anywhere around. The burgundy vehicle with Baja California license plates contained clothes, but no people. The CHP checked with El Centro Regional Medical Center, and they said no one had been brought in as a result of a traffic incident. The Highway Patrol says they are continuing to investigate the incident as a Hit and Run.
