A Covelo man was killed recently in a crash on Highway 162, the California Highway Patrol reported.
According to the CHP, officers responded to a “solo vehicle crash on Hwy. 162 near MPM 5.7” on Saturday, April 5, when a 911 call reported the collision around 1:55 p.m.
When officers arrived on-scene at 1:58 p.m., the CHP reports, they found “the solo occupant of the vehicle unresponsive, (and) provided life-saving measures on the driver until relieved by Laytonville Fire Department.”
However, the CHP reports that the driver, identified as Dennis Shepherd, 78, of Covelo, “was ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene,” and that Caltrans personnel “assisted on scene as the roadway was reduced to one-way traffic control for scene investigation and vehicle recovery.”
The CHP also notes that its “preliminary investigation shows (that) Shepherd was driving westbound on SR-162 (when), for an unknown reason, (his) vehicle travelled off the roadway and collided with two trees and the embankment. Shepherd was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.”
The CHP adds that it is still “investigating the cause of this crash, (and) wants to remind motorists the importance of wearing their seatbelt while operating or riding in a motor vehicle.”
