The deceased was identified as Eduardo Hernandez and he was killed after the front end of his vehicle struck a hillside and came to rest in a concrete culvert to the right of the northbound State Road 14, according to Sergeant P. Haggard of the California Highway Patrol.  

Haggard said a CHP officer was already at the scene prior to the crash.

“An officer was on a traffic stop on the right shoulder,” Haggard said “ … [he] heard a loud impact south of his location and that’s when he observed a ‘99 Toyota Camry with major front end damage coming to rest in a concrete culvert just east of his patrol vehicle.”

The collision appears to be a result of driver fatigue, Haggard said.

Haggard said the exact cause of the incident is still under investigation, but attributed the collision to an unsafe turning movement on a freeway.

The driver’s lane and speed prior to the collision are unknown, Haggard said.
