A 37-year-old man died following a solo rollover accident on eastbound University Avenue before Bayfront Expressway around 10:28 p.m. Tuesday, April 21.
He has been identified as Miguel Torres, an East Palo Alto resident, according to the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office.
The Menlo Park Police Department is investigating what happened.
An early investigation suggests that the driver was driving at a high speed and lost control of the vehicle, which caused it to roll over, and he was ejected from the vehicle, according to the police department.
Police responded within a minute of receiving the call, and found the man ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Menlo Park Fire Protection District.
Witnesses to the accident should call the Menlo Park Police Department at 650-330-6300.
Eastbound University Avenue was closed to through traffic for several hours for the investigation but has been reopened.
At least he didn’t take anyone with him. I bet there’s a fundraiser going for his family or funeral.
Ejected from the car means not wearing his seatbelt. If he chose not to wear it — was he intentionally committing suicide?
High rate of speed, no seat belt = RIP.
On University Ave, there are too many Speeders going down that road all day and night.
I hear it all hours of the day, with very very loud exhaust coming the said vehicles.
It’s like University Ave is a freeway with posted Speed limits of 25 MPH, but cars are traveling at 60 MPH.
I don’t understand why Police don’t make up a trap and collect Fines and impound vehicles that drive like maniacs.
Well, I guess the police don’t like catching these fast dukes of hazards who drive like Maniacs.
More and more of them will die on University Ave before Bay Front Road.
