A man died Monday after his car rolled off Malibu Canyon Road near Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Calif., and plunged over a cliff.
According to Lt. Adam Zeko with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the man’s vehicle rolled over and hit a utility pole before plunging into the embankment.
The incident happened around 12:20 p.m., about a mile north of Southern California’s infamous Pacific Coast Highway.
The single vehicle crash led to an immediate road closure that shut down the main road between Calabasas and Malibu for an unknown amount of time.
