The California Highway Patrol is investigating a crash on Highway 1 Monday that ended with a driver falling into the ocean.
According to investigators, big wave surfer Darryl "Flea" Virostko was driving on Highway 1 when he was struck by another car driven by a 40-year-old Santa Cruz woman.
The unidentified woman reportedly got out of her vehicle, crossed the highway and walked toward the cliff overlooking the ocean before she fell into the ocean. Investigators don't know it was an accident or not.
The woman's body was recovered from the ocean by Coast Guard helicopter.
They say the sodium azide gas released by the airbags can kill or disorient you if inhaled, also used in PCR test tubes.
It looks like Highway 1 is in California only and stops somewhere south of Eureka. Further north the coastal highway is U.S. 101.
She probably got out and was talking on her phone, when she took one step too many backwards.”
You are probably correct.
Probably had to take a selfie for fakebook to memorialize the incident and went one step too far backwards. Another unfortunate selfie/fakebook death that could have easily been avoided.
All those Westsiders are getting old. Those that haven’t gone toes up already.
My buddy’s dad was a CHP officer in that area in the 50’s and 60’s “Blood Alley” is what he called it too
I thought the Westside was the young, hip area.
Was a certain part called Blood Alley?
As a place the live yeah, but in terms of surfing the west and east siders had kind of a Jets/Sharks thing going awhile back. Meth was a big deal.
Did that one last summer. I actually thought it was less scary than Highway 1, after hearing many people warn me about it beforehand. Wouldn't want to do it on an icy winter day, though. :)
I love that road. Been over it many times in sunshine, rain coming down so hard you can’t see but 5 feet of the hood and white out snow conditions. Even dodged a deer way up near the top. The views are just outrageous! It’s true, though. People are scared of it, when there really are only a couple parts that get somewhat sketchy with hairpin turns and 100+ foot dropoffs.
I’m pretty sure he worked the stretch between Carlsbad and San Luis Obispo
lol...I too prefer PCH, it comes off clean, quick, to the point, and more descriptive, unlike the wordy Cabrillo Pad Highway.

We used to barbecue oysters at my church in Inverness. Very good that way.
True story.
I am marking this down as a Vaxxident. The Covid jabs are disorienting many people. Though, it is usually the elderly getting multiple jabs, due to Fauci panicking them. Their mind gets messed up to where it is functioning at 50% or less. They get into vaxxidents. Particularly when driving hard to maneuver motor homes. It is like you downing a six-pack in ten minutes. Then going out driving.
If you see an old codger driving a motor home. Give him a wide berth.
Monterey Road was a part of Blood Alley
“Was a certain part called Blood Alley?”
To my knowledge, the Sur stretched from basically San Simeon to Carmel. And because of the great ocean to the west with breakers and mountains east, snow covered in the winter, the collision problems were a combination of winding roads and/or rubbernecking drivers. So anytime, about anywhere, when a car slowed down to oggle, someone else was oggling at a greater rate of speed. Also the winding turns on the highway made driving a trailer or motor home a little more challenging and when Mr. or MS. impatient got behind them you can imagine what would transpire. The road was completed in about 1938 using prison labor.
Interesting the state now owns a large piece of that coast line purchased from the Hearst family for not paying state taxes until the worth bottoms out. It is figured a few generations of family will not pay taxes. The Hearst family owned at peak about 50 square miles of California coastline.
