PASO ROBLES, CA (July 7, 2022) — A man died in a possible DUI crash on Highway 101 near Spring Street on Tuesday.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the two-vehicle accident happened around 7:04 p.m. For possible DUI-related reasons, a 2009 Dodge Charger driver bearing northbound at a high rate of speed began passing cars on the inside and outside of the shoulder lane.
 
Subsequently, the Dodge clipped a 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser before spinning into the median, where it struck a dirt embankment and became airborne. Following the impact, the Dodge came to a rest on its roof.
 
Soon after, emergency personnel responded to the scene and found a 54-year-old man driving the Dodge with fatal injuries. Authorities have yet to release his name.
