Man Killed In Peninsula Freeway Crash

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — A man was killed Thursday morning in a collision along U.S. Highway 101 near San Francisco International Airport, the California Highway Patrol officials said.

CHP officers responded to a collision involving two vehicles in the highway's northbound lanes near San Bruno Avenue just before 7 a.m.

Investigators believe a silver Toyota Yaris being driven by a man made an unsafe right lane change and collided with the back of another vehicle, CHP Officer Mark Andrews said.

The impact caused the Toyota Yaris' driver to strike a concrete wall and then overturn several times, Andrews said.

The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car. The vehicle continued to overturn and ultimately landed on the driver, pinning him underneath, according to Andrews.

Crews were able to extricate the driver from underneath the car, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other injuries were reported, Andrews said.

Authorities are working to identify the driver, who investigators believe to be a man in his mid to late 20s.
