The Explorer slammed into a fence before rolling one and a half times.
CSP says neither Giron nor his two passengers were wearing seat belts. Giron was ejected from the SUV and was pronounced dead at the scene; the other two passengers were injured in the crash.
State patrol says alcohol is suspected to be a factor. The crash is still under investigation.
