CHP was still investigating the crash, but said according to a witness, the man may have been traveling 70 to 75 mph when he drifted into the center divider and over-corrected the steering wheel. The car then fishtailed, according to the witness, and rolled over at least one time coming to rest on top of the guard rail, Cooper said.
