At 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 17, Santa Maria Fire Department, CHP, and a ground ambulance responded to southbound Highway 101, north of Broadway in Santa Maria.
According to the CHP report, witnesses report a 2011 Kia sedan driving at a high speed before leaving the roadway, striking a guardrail, overturning, and landing on its roof.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Coroner has released the identity as 27-year-old Dylan Deaser from Grover Beach.
CHP states Deaser was wearing his seatbelt and alcohol or drugs are not suspected to be factors in the crash.
