The incident was reported at 11:54 p.m. in the 18000 block of Seventh Street north of Castle Road, in unincorporated Sonoma County. A 2010 Porsche Cayman hit a tree and went airborne, rolling over and coming to a rest on the vehicle’s roof after hitting a fence and a second tree.

The driver, a 28-year-old Mountain View resident, died on the scene due to injuries suffered in the crash.

A passenger, identified only as a 28-year-old New York resident, was extracted from the vehicle and flown to a hospital with major injuries to his head and neck, according to the CHP. The driver has not yet been identified, but investigators say that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
