A Hollister man has died after a rollover crash on San Juan Road west of Murphy Road outside Watsonville Friday night.

At around 11:26 p.m., a 21-year-old man from Hollister and his 23-year-old passenger were driving eastbound on San Juan Road when the driver went off the road.

The car then hit a power pole on the shoulder, veered south and rolled over. The driver was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The passenger was also a Hollister man, but he was wearing a seat belt and was taken to Natividad Medical Center with minor injuries.
