A Montclair man was killed when his car crashed head-on with a tree in Rowland Heights early Tuesday morning, Feb. 9.

California Highway Patrol Officer Marcos Iniguez identified the driver as 21-year-old Luis Antonio Sanchez. It looked like he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, Iniguez said.

The fatal crash happened at 3:14 a.m.

A 2004 Nissan Altima was heading east on Colima Road, west of Fairway Drive, at a high rate of speed when it traveled onto the sidewalk and struck a tree, Iniguez said.

He said the car bounced back and ended up on the No. 3 lane. Paramedics pronounced the driver, Sanchez, dead at the scene, Iniguez said.
