A man was ejected from his car and seriously injured Tuesday night in a crash near the Erie airport. 

Millcreek Police say it happened around 11:30, on the curve where West 20th Street becomes Marshall Drive.

A man in his 40s failed to follow the road's curve to the left.

Instead, the car continued straight, driving off the road and down an embankment, throwing the driver from the car.

He was taken to UPMC Hamot. 

Police say it's too early to tell what caused the crash.
