Local News in Brief : Man Dies as Pickup Overturns in Saugus
The body of a 25-year-old Lake Hughes man was found beside his overturned pickup truck on a Saugus roadway, authorities said Sunday.
The dead man, identified as Karl Lansbery, was discovered by a passing bicyclist Saturday on San Francisquito Canyon Road about eight miles north of Seco Canyon Road.
The victim was northbound on San Francisquito Canyon when he apparently lost control of his truck rounding a curve and crossed into the southbound lanes, California Highway Patrol Officer Monty Keifer said. The truck then plummeted 15 feet down an embankment, where it overturned, Keifer said. The driver was thrown from the truck.
Authorities said they believe the accident occurred sometime between Friday and Saturday afternoon.
