New details began to emerge Sunday after a man and a child were killed when their pickup plunged into the Pacific Ocean near Pescadero State Beach.
The family of a man who died alongside a child when their truck plunged into the Pacific Ocean at Pescadero State Beach grasped for answers Sunday about what led up to the fatal crash, and why their pickup barreled off a 30-foot cliff into the ocean.
“We’re devastated,” said Elizabeth Anaya, who identified her brother, Ipolito “Poli” Anaya as the man killed in the crash. “I’m lost. I’m trying to think what could have happened — what could have caused them to keep on driving, drive through Highway 1 and the parking lot that’s here. It’s horrible.”
Emergency crews pulled one man’s body from the truck, and later found a child dead in the pickup as well, said Art Montiel, a highway patrol spokesman. A third person also may have been in the vehicle at the time at the crash, and the highway patrol was working Sunday afternoon with the U.S. Coast Guard to search the area for that person.
Elizabeth Anaya, 31, said the crash has left her family in shocked disbelief. Her brother — a resident of Freedom, a small town near Watsonville — went to a barbecue near Pescadero that night. The next day, she said authorities notified her family that her brother had died in the wreck.
