The impact caused the Jetta to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, completely leaving the road, hitting a utility pole, and overturning.
It stopped on its roof.
The driver was not wearing a seat belt and suffered fatal injuries, police said.
The Perry County coroner, Shermans Dale Fire and EMS, and Lehman’s Towing assisted at the scene.
