A man who died in a crash south of Portola Valley in San Mateo County early Thursday morning has been identified by the county Coroner’s Office as 25-year-old James Henry Power.
California Highway Patrol officers responded at 3:58 a.m. to a report of a crash on Skyline Boulevard, also known as state Highway 35, south of Page Mill Road near the county border with Santa Clara County, CHP officials said.
Investigators determined a silver 2005 Nissan SUV was traveling south when, for a reason yet to be determined, it went off the road and struck a tree, according to the CHP.
Power, the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. CHP officials initially said he was a Stanford resident but the coroner’s office has clarified that he was from Los Altos.
The crash remains under investigation and anyone who may have witnessed it is asked to call Officer J. Wakeman at (650) 369-6261.
