The agency said the crash happened on northbound Highway 99 just south of Richland Road., around 2:07 a.m.

The driver of the vehicle died after being ejected from the vehicle during the crash, the CHP said.

Witnesses who spoke with the CHP said the vehicle was heading northbound and “weaving heavily, unable to maintain its lane,” the CHP said.

After passing the intersection with Lincoln Road, the vehicle entered the paved center divide and turned sharply to the right, then drove onto the right shoulder before turning sharply to the left and overturning, the CHP said.

Several witnesses stopped to help until first responders arrived and the vehicle’s passengers were taken to the hospital.
