A man died and a woman was critically injured when their car crashed into a center median in Carlsbad on Sunday morning.

The man was driving a 2007 BMW sedan southbound with the woman on Rancho Santa Fe Road when the car swerved into the raised center median. This caused the car to roll and collide with a traffic signal pole at the intersection with Camino Junipero.

Carlsbad Police investigators said they were not sure if alcohol or speeding had a role in the crash.

Jacob Marine Lesu, 27, was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger was taken to a hospital with major injuries, according to police.
