A 35-year-old man died Sunday morning when he was ejected from his car after crashing into guardrails on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in Palmdale.
The crash occurred about 1 a.m. on the southbound freeway at 10th Street West, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The man at the wheel of a 1997 Acura RL veered to the right and crashed into the metal guardrail north of Avenue O-8, then swerved across all lanes and crashed into the metal guardrail in the center of the southbound side, according to CHP Officer M. Carder. He was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car, landing in the No. 3 southbound lane.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not released pending notification of relatives. The investigation continued and will include a look at whether drugs and/or alcohol were involved, Carder said.
