A 42-year-old Fresno man was killed Sunday evening when his car crossed the median on Highway 41 south of Nebraska Avenue and overturned, ejecting him, the California Highway Patrol said.

Officers responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash about 7:45 p.m. and found a Toyota Camry on the west shoulder with the driver underneath it. He was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP said.

Authorities found the Camry was traveling north at a high rate of speed when the driver abruptly steered left. The car crossed the center median and southbound lanes before reaching the west shoulder, where it overturned.

The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected, and the Camry came to rest on top of him, CHP said.

Investigators later learned the Camry may have been involved in an earlier hit-and-run crash in Fresno after Fresno police broadcast a similar vehicle description. Police were notified, and the possible connection remains under investigation, according to CHP.

Whether alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash is unknown pending toxicology results. The crash remains under investigation.
