Officers were called and responded for a Crash Follow-up at 0235hrs. The investigation indicated that it was a single vehicle, single occupant crash. The vehicle, driven by a 33 year old male, was west bound at a high rate of speed in the left lane. It appears that the driver over-corrected the 1998 Pontiac which then traveled about 300′, jumping the left curb, running through bushes and impacting a concrete pillar. The inertia wedged the car between the pillar and a retaining wall.

The driver did not survive his injuries.
