Officers say a male driver was traveling westbound on Clinton Avenue at around 6:45 a.m. when, for an unknown reason, he drifted into the eastbound lane and crashed into a parked car at a high speed.
CHP says the driver was transported to a hospital where he later died. He was not wearing a seatbelt. His passenger, who officers identified as 52-year-old Suzanne Gagain, suffered moderate to major injuries and was transported to Community Regional Medical Center.
Officers believe the driver may have been under the influence of drugs, and a toxicology report is pending.
