A 75-year-old man died after crashing along northbound Highway 101 in Novato, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The crash happened at about 4:45 p.m. Saturday south of the exit to Bel Marin Keys Boulevard. The man’s vehicle, a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, went off the highway, hit a fence and other fixtures and landed on its roof on Nave Drive, according to CHP Officer Darrel Horner.
Medics took the driver to a hospital and he was pronounced dead. Horner said he was a Cotati resident.
The county coroner’s office did not release the man’s name Sunday.
The CHP is still investigating the crash. Horner said police do not suspect intoxication was a factor.
Police closed Nave Drive for several hours during the preliminary investigation and diverted traffic through the Hamilton Marketplace shopping center.
