The name of the wrong-way driver who was fatally injured earlier this month in a collision on Highway 101 in Santa Barbara was released Wednesday afternoon by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s-Coroner’s Bureau.

Jose Nicholas Rodriguez, 43, of Santa Barbara died of injuries suffered in the Oct. 13 crash on the southbound freeway near Las Positas Road, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Raquel Zick.

Three other people were hurt in the collision, which occurred at about 9:35 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

Rodriguez was behind the wheel of a Nissan Sentra when he drove the wrong way on Highway 101, traveling down the Las Positas Road southbound offramp, the CHP reported.

The Nissan collided with two vehicles on the offramp, causing only property damage, before it entered the freeway and slammed into a Volkswagen Atlas that was in the right-hand lane.

The driver of the Atlas, Cynthia Boller, 53, suffered major injuries, while two teenage passengers — Nicholas Boller, 16, and Austin Boller, 18 — sustained moderate injuries, the CHP said.

All of the injured were taken by AMR ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

“It is undetermined if driver of the Nissan was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs at the time of the crash” the CHP said, adding that Boller was not under the influence.

Anyone with information regarding this collision is asked to contact the Santa Barbara Area CHP office at 805.967.1234 during normal business hours.
