A Los Angeles man was ejected from his vehicle and killed in a car crash in Costa Mesa Thursday morning.

Rene Sanchez, 45, died near the intersection of Red Hill and McCormick avenues shortly after the 6:25 a.m. crash, the Costa Mesa Police Department said in a news release.

According to police, Sanchez's sedan was turning left from McCormick Avenue when it collided with another sedan headed north on Red Hill Avenue.

The other driver "remained at the scene and was cooperative," police said.

The intersection and northbound Paularino Avenue were closed for about three hours for the investigation, and though the roads have reopened, the investigation remains ongoing.
