The Mesa Police Department says one person was killed after a car crashed into a tree Wednesday night.

The incident happened around 8 p.m. near Guadalupe Road and the Loop 202.

Police say there was a minor crash nearby on Guadalupe Road where two vehicles struck each other. After that, one of the vehicles continued east on Guadalupe Road at a high speed and crashed into a tree.

The deceased driver has since been identified as 29-year-old Jefte Daniel Boll.
