Officers responded at 11:50 a.m. Monday to Road 209, south of Road 406 in Madera County.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a 63-year-old Madera man was driving a gray 2020 Kia Forte north on Road 209 when, while approaching a curve, the vehicle veered off the roadway onto the west shoulder and struck an embankment.
