The crash happened around 2:56 p.m. on eastbound 32nd Avenue, just east of Rannells Boulevard.
 
CHP officials said a 2002 Toyota Tacoma made an unsafe turn to the right when it veered off the road and crossed over a dirt shoulder. It then traveled down a steep embankment and rammed into a patch of brush.
