Trooers say Lloyd Moore was traveling eastbound with two other people when the SUV he was riding in swerved to avoid a deer and ran off the road.

According to a Highway Patrol Crash Report, Moore was thrown from the SUV after it flipped over and then caught fire.

He was airlifted to a local hospital.
