The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday released the name of the Santa Barbara man killed in a head-on crash on Highway 101 on Monday.

Michael Channing Peake, 80, was killed in the collision just south of the Nojoqui Summit near Gaviota at about 7:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Peake was the son of Channing Peake, a famous local artist.

A GMC pickup truck driven by Juliel Montes, 34, of Salinas was headed south on Highway 101 when, for unknown reasons, it crossed onto the northbound side and directly into the path of Peake’s Jeep pickup truck, said CHP Officer Keith Rogers.

Peake suffered major injuries and was declared dead at the scene, Rogers said.

Montes was not injured, he added.

Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the collision, Rogers said, but the crash remained under investigation by the CHP.
