Sad to hear. Probably would have survived if had been wearing a seat belt. Apparently was ejected and crushed under the vehicle.

Unfortunate event. But less to do with the vehicle, more to do with safety awareness.

Sad to hear, and not much info, but based on the age of the person (23 yo), there may have been some alcohol involved. Still really unfortunate, feel bad for the family.

He rolled over on the highway... Very sad that he lost his life. May have survived if he took the time to buckle his belt, I just don't get why people refuse to buckle up.

I know W.Camino Cielo Rd very well. 8 miles west of Hwy 154 is several miles past where pavement ends at the gun Club. 35 MPH in a Gladiator tops. No report of alcohol was made. One article reported the young man was not wearing a seat belt and partially ejected. The other just said he was partially ejected and pinned under the vehicle which was on its side. Neither mentioned doors on or off. I have heard of folks in doorless vehicles who's upper body hung out and they were crushed during a flop. One thing both reports made clear. Gladiator rolled over/flopped and crushed the driver.
