Police said the driver lost control, hit some brush, struck a parked car, went airborne, and then rolled over.

There were two people in the car. One person was ejected and the other was trapped in the car. One person was killed and the second person was injured. It is unclear which person in the car was killed — the driver or the passenger.

Police said the incident may be connected to a domestic violence call.
