Investigators believe the vehicle lost control, went off the roadway and collided with a mailbox and the edge of a ditch before rolling twice and coming to rest upside down.

Police reportedly contacted the vehicle's registered owner, who told them he'd loaned it to a sibling who is currently in jail and that it's likely the vehicle was taken without permission and used by a person unknown to them.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about the vehicle, the accident, or its driver at the time to contact the Ephrata Police Department.
