The driver, identified as Benjamin Tobin, 28, of Palo Alto, apparently drove off Page Mill Road, between Interstate 280 and Paseo Del Roble Drive, and crashed into the creek. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office is investigating the cause of death.
Although Capt. Ken Binder of the sheriff’s office said that the accident is under investigation, he noted that no other vehicle is believed to be involved. There are no sharp curves or steep declines on that stretch of the road.
This is the first fatal vehicle accident of the year in Los Altos Hills, according to Binder, and there were none last year.
