Modesto, CA — A 21-year-old Oakdale man is dead following a single vehicle rollover accident on River Road.
CHP says the man was driving at a high rate of speed when the car approached a curve in the road.
Reports indicate the man was travelling too fast to negotiate the curve. The driver apparently applied the brakes but was unable to avoid leaving the roadway and crashing into several tree stumps and a concrete pipe before overturning.
CHP says the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Alcohol is believed to be factor in the accident.
The man´s identity is being withheld pending notification of relatives.
