Sarwar was driving between 70 and 75 mph, the CHP said. The driver then veered off the west edge of the roadway, and the vehicle continued westbound across a nearby on-ramp, the CHP said. The passenger’s side of the Prius collided into the side of a tractor-trailer parked on the shoulder, according to officials.
 
As a result, Sarwar and his passenger sustained major injuries. Despite lifesaving efforts provided by first-responders, Sarwar’s passenger died of his injuries at the scene.
 
Furthermore, the big rig driver was asleep inside the tractor-trailer at the time of the crash. He did not incur any injuries from the crash.
 
On the other hand, responders took Sarwar to a hospital for medical treatment.
