The Monterey county sheriff’s office identifies the driver of a vehicle which crashed and went over the side of highway one near Big Sur.
He’s 92-year-old John Wheatley of Castro Valley. He died in the single car crash on highway one between Salmon Creek and Soda Springs.
The vehicle landed 700 feet down a cliff between highway one and the Pacific ocean near Gorda Mountain road.
The sheriff’s office received a call back on April 9th. But it took time to reach the vehicle and to identify the crash victim, because they had to notify his next of kin.
