Authorities have released the name of the driver who was killed late Sunday night in a single-vehicle crash on Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara.
James Owen Caverly, 22, of Santa Barbara was fatally injured in a rollover crash that occurred at about 11:40 p.m. Sunday on Cabrillo Boulevard near Los Patos Way, according to Anthony Wagner, a Santa Barbara Police Department spokesman.
Caverly was traveling north on Highway 101 when he exited at Hot Springs Road, Wagner said.
Caverly drove through the intersection with Cabrillo Boulevard without stopping, then struck the curb and a light pole on the opposite corner.
The impact caused the vehicle to overturn several times up the embankment along the southbound freeway offramp.
Caverly was ejected from the vehicle, Wagner said, and was declared dead at the scene.
Police have not said whether they believe drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, which remained under investigation.
