Atwater man killed in crash in Stanislaus County, CHP says

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An investigation continues into what led to a crash that killed a man from the North Valley.

The California Highway Patrol responded just before 5 pm Tuesday to a crash on Frank Cox Road near Cox Road, just outside of Grayson.

Officials say the man was driving a Lexus east on Frank Cox Road and drifted into the south shoulder.

The driver then turned to the left, rotating the car before crashing into a canal bank, causing the car to flip over multiple times.

Officers say the man was thrown from the car and died at the scene.

He was not wearing a seatbelt.

Authorities are working to determine if drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.
