Peninsula Man ID'd In Deadly Highway Crash

SAN MATEO, CA — A 20-year-old San Mateo man died Monday evening in unincorporated San Mateo County when his motorcycle crashed near state Highway 92, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The CHP received a call at 6:41 p.m. of a crash on Canada Road just south of Highway 92.

Chance Hales was driving north on Canada Road and when his motorcycle left the road, hit a guardrail and Hales was ejected from the vehicle, CHP officials said.

Hales died at the scene, CHP spokesman Officer Art Montiel said.

Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have played a role in the crash, Montiel said.

CHP officials do not know whether Hales was speeding. The road is sparsely traveled and the crash had no impact on traffic in the area.
