One person died and another was critically injured after a car crashed into a tree early Wednesday morning, officials say.

The crash happened at 5:40 a.m. on Riverview Drive, just west of Palm Haven Trail in Riverview.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Jaime Castellano, 25, of Tampa, was driving a rented 2016 Nissan Altima east on Riverview Drive when he lost control of the car.

The car hit a left-hand curve, went off the south shoulder and crashed into a tree, deputies say.

Castellano and the car's passenger, Helemah F. Elayyan, suffered serious injuries in the crash. Deputies say neither was wearing a seatbelt at the time.

Both were taken to St. Joseph's South Hospital, where Elayyan died. Castellano suffered severe internal injuries and was flown to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition.

The investigation continues.
