Deputies arrived and determined 22-year-old Nikolas Roberts was southbound on Swan Road and crossed the median, rolling his vehicle.
Roberts died as a result of the injuries sustained during the accident and was pronounced deceased on scene.
The investigation determined Roberts was wearing his seatbelt, but believe speed to be a factor.
Witnesses say the man was driving at a high rate of speed. @PimaSheriff says he was seat belted and there were no signs of impairment.
