Seal Beach, CA : 75-year-old Newport Beach man killed in a single-car crash on the 405 Freeway in Orange County on Tuesday morning, February 2, 2016

A 75-year-old Newport Beach man was killed in a single-car crash Tuesday morning on the 405 Freeway in Seal Beach.

Robert McNamara was a passenger in a 2002 Mercedes-Benz when it crashed, throwing him from the car, according to the California Highway Patrol. He died at the scene, the Orange County coroner's office said.

The crash occurred about 6:40 a.m. when the Mercedes' driver, a 70-year-old Newport Beach woman, veered "aggressively" left as she tried to transition from the northbound 405's carpool lane to the northbound 605 Freeway carpool connector, according to a CHP report.

As the car swerved, it hit a divider separating the lanes and the driver lost control, the CHP said.

McNamara, who apparently was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the car as it rolled over onto the 605 transition road, according to the CHP.

The driver, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, the CHP said.

The CHP did not disclose whether McNamara and the driver were related.
