Fatal Vehicle Accident in Chualar

According to a report from the California Highway Patrol in Monterey on Tuesday, September 22 a driver was killed in a fatal accident off of Chualar Canyon Road in Chualar at 9:40 pm on Friday night, September 18. The CHP states that the driver was in a Ford that was hauling a 15-foot flatbed utility trailer east of Old Stage Road at a high rate of speed. As the vehicle came to a slight left curve, the driver lost control, left it's lane, and the trailer struck a large oak tree near the road going towards the road edge and up a dirt embankment before overturning onto the shoulder. The trailer came off the vehicle and went down 250 to 300 feet before hitting a power pole. The impact caused the top to shear off and around 200 residents nearby lost power. The driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash is still under investigation, but the CHP said that it suspects alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
