The traffic accident about two miles northwest of Lake Henshaw in the Mesa Grande area was reported shortly before 5 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The vehicle, a white SUV, apparently struck a tree before crashing off the eastbound side of the rural route and plunging about 40 feet down a rocky embankment, winding up on its roof with the victim trapped inside, the CHP reported.
