A Yuba City man died Monday evening in a car crash south of Live Oak.
The 60-year-old man was driving at 5:03 p.m. with a 55-year-old female passenger north on Kent Avenue, just north of Bridgeford Avenue, in an unincorporated area of Sutter County when the crash occurred.
He was driving about 50 mph when the 1987 BMW he was driving drifted right, onto the dirt shoulder. The driver over-corrected and lost control of the car, a California Highway Patrol report states.
The car crossed the center line of traffic, rolled twice and came to rest on its left side on the dirt shoulder on the southbound side of the road, the report states.
The woman escaped the car through the passenger-side window.
The man, who was not wearing a seat belt, was unresponsive and trapped in the car. He suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene, the report states
The woman suffered minor injuries and was taken to Rideout Memorial Hospital in Marysville.
The CHP is investigating the crash.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
