A 28-year-old man died Saturday when his vehicle crashed into a tree in Sorrento Valley.<\/p>\n
Officers with the San Diego Police Department responded at 5:40 a.m. Saturday to a report of a vehicle on fire and a person down in the street in 6500 block of Mira Mesa Boulevard near Flanders Drive, according to Officer Dave O’Brien.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found a 2009 BMW 3-series sedan that had been speeding eastbound had crashed into a tree and the driver had been ejected, police said.<\/p>\n
“For an unknown reason the BMW swerved left onto the center median and collided with a tree,” O’Brien said. “The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.”<\/p>\n
The SDPD Traffic Division was handling the investigation and DUI was suspected to be a factor in the collision, police said.<\/p>\n
Mira Mesa Boulevard was closed in both directions between Flanders Drive and Genetic Center Drive while officers investigated.<\/p>\n
The driver’s name was not released.
