Marin Co. Driver Killed In Mt. Tam Crash ID'd

MARIN COUNTY, CA – The Marin County Sheriff's Office has identified the driver who died in a solo vehicle crash in Mount Tamalpais State Park Thursday afternoon as Trygve Walter Hansen, 53, of Inverness.

Hansen was driving a 2005 Toyota Scion west on Ridgecrest Boulevard between Panoramic Highway and Fairfax-Bolinas Road in west Marin County around 4:40 p.m., the sheriff's office's coroner's division said.

The man failed to negotiate a curve near Willow Camp Fire Road, careened down a steep embankment and rolled several times before stopping several hundred feet below the road, Chief Deputy Coroner Roger Fielding said.

The weather was damp and foggy with poor, limited visibility at the time, Fielding said. First responders found Hansen and his 13-year-old son who were ejected from the vehicle, Fielding said.

Hansen was pronounced dead at the scene and the teen was transported to a hospital, Fielding said. The boy suffered major injuries, the CHP said.

CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said it's believed the father and son were heading home when the crash occurred.
