The Sanger Police Department reports that the crash occurred around Newmark and North Avenues, where officers found the vehicle submerged in the water.
Emergency responders pulled the driver from the canal and performed CPR for several minutes, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
