SAN DIEGO, CA — Two people died early Sunday following a rollover crash on State Route 54 near the Bay Terraces neighborhood of San Diego, according to ABC10 News.

The accident happened on westbound side of State Route 54 near Woodman Drive.

California Highway Patrol officials said a 52-year-old Chula Vista man was operating a black Nissan 370Z at a high rate of speed when the vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway. It then struck a raised curb and a guardrail, which sent it rolling down a steep ravine.

First responders pronounced both the driver and a male passenger deceased at the scene. The victims’ identities are being withheld as officials work to notify family members.

Crews had the westbound entrance ramp from Woodman Drive shut down during the investigation, which remains ongoing. It’s unclear at this time whether intoxication contributed to the fatal crash.
