The Fresno County Coroner Monday identified Armando Leyton Reyes, 50, of Fresno as the driver who died in a solo vehicle rollover accident near Easton Friday evening.

The California Highway Patrol reported Reyes was traveling eastbound on Lincoln Avenue and approaching Cornelia Avenue around 5:30 p.m., when his 2007 Dodge Dakota drifted off the roadway to the right.

Reyes over-corrected, forcing the vehicle to overturn. It came to a stop on its wheels, according to the California Highway Patrol. Reyes, the only occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.
