Deputies believe the driver was headed west on Greens Road and, for some reason, left the road.

They said the car hit a guardrail, went airborne, over a culvert and landed upside down in the water.

A man, the only person in the car, was killed. He hasn't been identified.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating.
