Police are investigating a fatal one-vehicle rollover crash that occurred Sunday morning in Lucerne Valley. The accident happened on Highway 247 east of Lafon Road around 6:40 a.m. The driver, 56-year-old David Hoffman of Landers, died in the crash.

According to the initial investigation, Hoffman was driving a Dodge vehicle east on Highway 247 when, for unknown reasons, he drifted into the westbound lane.
