A 21-year-old man was killed when his car veered off Highway 101 and crashed into a tree on Saturday night, as reported by the California Highway Patrol.
The solo vehicle crash occurred just before 11:30 p.m. on Highway 101, just north of State Route 25. Despite the efforts of officers and emergency medical personnel who responded to the scene, the man succumbed to his injuries.
Initial investigations reveal that the man was driving a Honda north on Highway 101. He suddenly veered left off the road, lost control of the vehicle, crossed the northbound lanes, and ended up on the shoulder, where his car collided with a tree.
At this stage, it is unclear whether drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. The California Highway Patrol is asking anyone who witnessed the incident to contact Officer F. Bowen at 408-427-0700.
