The car the 21-year-old was driving, a 2000 Mercury sedan, was traveling west on Lincoln Village Drive approaching Bradshaw "at a high rate of speed" around 3:15 p.m., according to a sheriff's department press release.

The car hit an island in the intersection, skidded across Bradshaw Road, and rolled over after hitting a ramp on the north side of the school, authorities said.

A male passenger in the car was uninjured, and left the scene to try to find help, the press release stated.

The Rancho Cordova Police Department's Traffic Unit is investigating the crash, and officials have not yet determined whether the impact of the crash or complications from a medical condition ultimately caused the driver to pass away.
