A 23-year-old man lost control of the vehicle he was driving, causing it to leave the roadway and rollover. The medical examiner’s office says his passenger, 19-year-old Samantha Rodriguez, was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene.
The driver had non-life threatening injuries.
Both crashes remain under investigation.
