A 70‑year‑old Lakeport man died Sunday night after apparently suffering a medical emergency while driving on Highway 101 in Santa Rosa, according to the Highway Patrol.
CHP officers were called at 8:15 p.m. to a car stopped in highway traffic near Highway 12. They found a Volkswagen Jetta blocking a lane, the engine still running and an apparently unconscious driver, said CHP Officer Jon Sloat in a news release.
The Jetta doors were locked and Officer Boone Bathe broke a window to get to the man, who had a faint pulse and appeared to be having a seizure, Sloat said. Firefighters and paramedics moved the man and started CPR. He was taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead.
His name hadn’t been released as of late Monday morning.
