On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at approximately 10:28 p.m., Menlo Park Officers responded to a report of a solo vehicle collision eastbound University Avenue just before Bayfront Expressway (Highway 84). Officers arrived within one minute of the call and found an adult male ejected from the vehicle.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver was presumably driving at a high rate of speed and lost control of the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to rollover ejecting him from the vehicle.
