Malibu Man Dies in Accident; Son Injured

A Malibu man in his late 50s was killed Sunday and his son was injured when their vehicle veered off rain-slicked Kanan Road at Troutdale Drive near Westlake Village about 8 a.m. and crashed into a power pole, authorities said.

“They hit a power pole after losing control of the vehicle,” said a California Highway Patrol spokesman.

The man, whom police did not identify, was traveling in a black Land Rover. He might have suffered a heart attack during the accident, perhaps as he swerved to avoid another vehicle, the CHP spokesman said.
