Even a seat belt couldnt save the driver of a 100 mph car in
Dana Point Sunday when the vehicle slammed into a utility pole,
the victim was ejected through the windshield and then run over
by another vehicle.
The driver was wearing a seat belt. He was driving at such a
high rate of speed the seatbelt was pulled away from its anchor
point when the vehicle struck the pole, Orange County Sheriffs
Lt. Jerry Carlsen said.
The driver of the vehicle that ran over the ejected motorist
stopped at the scene, he said.

was ejected through the windshield and run over by at least one
vehicle, the lieutenant said.
