For an unknown reason, the vehicle lost control after crossing the finish line. It then collided with the guardrail causing it to become airborne before coming to a rest in a nearby wooded area and catching on fire.
The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and died as a result of the crash.
The coroner has not yet identified the driver.
