An adult male age 44 years was driving recklessly as the solo occupant south on N. Sanborn Rd. near Oregon St. when he struck another vehicle causing moderate damage. The suspect drove away from this collision ending up westbound on the Laurel Extension. Witnesses on Laurel estimated the suspect's speed in excess of 90-mph while he approached the intersection of Constitution Blvd. The suspect began to enter the right turn lane for northbound Constitution Blvd., as a result of his excessive speed he lost control and continued diagonally through the intersection striking several raised concrete medians. The suspect vehicle left the roadway and proceeded up the grass embankment striking a large retaining wall and sign for Natividad Medical Center. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and police are investigating weather alcohol played a part in the collision. The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.
