Coroners’ officials have identified the driver killed in an early Tuesday crash in the Vineyard area of south Sacramento County that also seriously injured a passenger in the car.

The driver was identified as Gerard Martin Aguilar, 21, of Cameron Park, according to Sacramento County Coroner’s officials. The crash happened about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday near Grant Line Road, Sheldon Lake Drive and Sunrise Boulevard, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP investigators say Aguilar was traveling south on Sunrise Boulevard at a high rate of speed when he continued through the intersection at Grant Line Road. Investigators say the car did not stop, missing a left-hand curve on the roadway onto Sheldon Lake Road.

The car struck a drainage ditch and overturned several times. The vehicle then struck a parked car in a driveway, flipped again and ejected the female passenger. Both driver and passenger were taken to a local hospital where Aguilar later died, according to CHP officials.

Investigators believe alcohol played a role in the crash, which remains under investigation.
