A 45-year-old man died early Sunday morning when his vehicle careened off of Graham Hill Road near Felton and smashed onto a tree.
California Highway Patrol Officer Israel Murillo said the man, who has not been named, was driving a 2009 Nissan Altima north on Graham Hill Road at 2:45am at an unknown speed.
For unknown reasons the Nissan veered off the pavement and collided with several objects, including a tree. The impact hurled the driver from his four-door sedan south of Deer Path Road.
Despite life-saving measures, the driver died at the scene, Murillo said.
It is not known if alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, which is still under investigation.
