Crash kills Lemoore man in Highway 198 crash early Monday
A 19-year-old Lemoore man died in a crash early Monday west of Hanford along Highway 198, the California Highway Patrol reports.
The victim, who was not immediately named, was the only occupant of a 2014 Nissan Altima, the CHP said.
His car was eastbound about 1 a.m. on Highway 198, east of 14th Avenue when for an unknown reason he allowed the car to drift to the right hand shoulder where it struck a concrete wall before overturning down a dirt embankment.
He was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene, the CHP said.
The crash remains under investigation.
