A person rescued from a submerged vehicle in San Mateo during the New Year’s Eve storm died not long after, the San Mateo Police Department said Friday.
The motorist was trapped at Pacific Boulevard and 42nd Avenue at around 5:38 p.m. and was rescued by police officers and firefighters. A subsequent investigation found before the driver became trapped, the vehicle had gone on the wrong side of the road and had eluded barricades that had been deployed to close the portion of the road, police said.
