The Monterey CHP reports that a 26-year-old male from King City has died as a result of a vehicle versus pedestrian collision in Greenfield on Saturday night, December 17. Officers were paged to southbound Highway 101 and south of Teague Avenue at 9:38 p.m. and discovered that 32-year-old Nathaniel Lugo of King City was driving a 2020 Tesla Model 3 at 70 MPH on southbound US-101 and south of Teague Avenue when he hit an unknown object on the left hand lane.
