A 70-year-old Ben Lomond resident was killed after driving off the roadway and down a 40-foot embankment on Glen Arbor Road on Saturday, March 2.
According to California Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sarah Jackson, Dennis Pageau was driving a green 2012 Jeep Wrangler north on Glen Arbor Road just south of Newell Creek Road when his vehicle went off the road, struck a utility pole and crashed down the embankment into the creek. Â
The Jeep was found upside down in the creek, Jackson said, and emergency responders pronounced Pageau dead on the scene at 1:40 p.m.
According to Jackson, Pagueau was wearing a seatbelt, and no other vehicles were involved. Conditions were dry at the time of the accident, and cellphone use was ruled out as a cause, Jackson said.
A toxicology report will be completed in the next several weeks to determine if drugs or alcohol were involved, Jackson said.
