Driver Who Died in Crash Over OB Cliff ID'd

The man who died after driving his SUV over an Ocean Beach cliff has been identified.

The medical examiner’s office says Kyle Thomas Witkowski, 28 of San Diego, was the unrestrained driver who lost control while traveling fast along Bacon Street just after midnight Saturday.

With two others in his black Chevy Tahoe, Witkowski plowed through a chain-link fence and guard rail, plunging his SUV more than 30 feet to the rocks blow, according to San Diego police. The vehicle flipped over in the air and landed on its roof.

When the San Diego Urban Search and Rescue Team used a ladder to get down to the crash site, they found Witkowski dead on impact, officials say.

A 24-year-old woman was injured in the crash and was airlifted to a hospital for serious injuries.

Police are still investigating what caused the driver to lose control.
