(Driver checks his GPS and runs his vehicle off the road.)….The California Highway Patrol says the incident occurred at around 11:50 Sunday night. The CHP says 43-year-old Roy Wayne Lawson from Tucson, Arizona was driving the Volkswagon Beetle. He was driving east on Interstate 8. At Myers Creek, Lawson apparently leaned over to adjust the Global Positioning System. The VW traveled onto the paved shoulder. The driver reportedly turned the vehicle sharply to the left in a southwesterly direction, causing him to lose control. The vehicle continued out of control, traveling across the asphalt shoulder, the dirt shoulder and down a ravine. The vehicle overturned as it went down the 40-foot ravine. After the vehicle stopped, Lawson got out of the car and walked up the ravine so he could use his cell phone to call 911. A passenger in the vehicle, 48-year-old John Paul Tuccini from Tucson, Arizona, suffered major injuries. He was airlifted to U C S D Medical Center for treatment. Lawson was treated for a minor laceration to his left ear. |
