Marin County man dies in solo accident on Hwy. 88

A Bay Area man died in a single-vehicle accident on Sunday in Alpine County.

David Martin, 62, of Woodacre was going west on Highway 88 west of the Carson River Bridge when the crash occurred.

Because there were no witnesses to the accident, officers don’t know for sure what happened. However, evidence points to Martin drifting onto the dirt shoulder. The 2001 BMW hit a rock embankment and flipped.

Martin was pronounced dead at the scene on July 23 at 6:20pm.

No one else was in the vehicle.
