On Thursday morning, June 18, 2020 at approximately 05:42 A.M., a solo vehicle collision was reported to 9-1-1 having occurred in the 1100 block of Meadowsweet Drive, Corte Madera. Reportedly a commercial refuse truck, which was operated and solely occupied by the subject was traversing down a steep narrow residential driveway and for unknown reasons, which remain under investigation, left the roadway and rolled over onto its side. Unfortunately during the incident, it appeared the subject was ejected from the moving truck and was struck by the vehicle becoming entrapped beneath it. Emergency Services were immediately dispatched to the scene, and arrived shortly after discovering the subject unconscious and unresponsive having sustained mortal traumatic injuries. Sadly, his death was pronounced on the scene without resuscitative aid provided.
