A 79-year-old Eureka man was killed yesterday in a single-car crash on U.S. Highway 101 near Humboldt Hill, the California Highway Patrol reported.
According to a press release, CHP's dispatch center received a report of an overturned vehicle in the highway's northbound lanes around 12:40 p.m. and personnel responded to find a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder had rolled, coming to rest on its wheels. The driver, identified as Dennis Katri, was fatally injured in the crash.
CHP is still investigating the cause of the crash but reports it appears for unknown reasons Katri allowed his car to drift into the center median, after which it overturned. Impairment is not considered a factor, according to CHP.
CHP extends condolences to Kari's family and asks anyone with information about the crash to call (707) 822-5981. Find the full accident report here.
