The California Highway Patrol reports a fatal vehicle incident involving a Dayton man that happened Wednesday on Blue Lakes Road off of State Route 88 south of Lake Tahoe.
In the early morning hours of August 5, Michael Glenn Pace, 74, Dayton, Nev., was traveling southbound on Blue Lakes Road, north of Sunset Lake Road, when he failed to negotiate a left curve in the road.
CHP says Pace went onto the gravel shoulder and attempted to steer back onto the roadway but his vehicle overturned, tumbled 150 feet down a steep embankment and struck a tree.
There were no witnesses and the crash went unreported until 1:30 p.m. CHP is asking anyone who may have seen Pace and his Toyota, or witnessed the crash to contact the South Lake Tahoe office at 530.577.1001.
