Patel, who was alone in the car at the time of the incident, was not wearing a seatbelt and was trapped inside the car, police said.

He was removed using a mechanical device and ultimately died of his injuries, Fox8 News reported.

It is yet unknown if Patel was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
