Fatal San Luis Obispo County car crash death of David Upham

Law enforcement personnel were dispatched to an isolated road intersection due to a major motor vehicle mishap occurring shortly before 2:05 p.m. on Nacimiento Lake Drive, situated north of Reservoir Road. The area, which is in San Luis Obispo County, saw a lone driver involved in the incident.

Upon their arrival, authorities discovered that the individual behind the wheel, identified as 62-year-old David Upham from Bradley, was operating a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The vehicle was moving eastward at an unspecified velocity when Upham inexplicably veered off the northern edge of the roadway and collided with a wooden barrier. This impact triggered a blaze in the car, complicating the scene significantly.

Emergency services managed to free Upham from the burning wreckage, but despite the immediate efforts of medical professionals, he was pronounced dead at the location due to the severity of his injuries. The incident report from the California Highway Patrol confirms no other vehicles or people were involved in the accident.

Further examination did not indicate any influence from alcohol or controlled substances in the driver’s system, and the ongoing probe into the crash’s origins is still in progress.
