A man died early Wednesday morning after his car went down an embankment off Highway 34, about fifteen miles east of Highway 101, police said.

The overturned vehicle.

About 3:45 a.m., fire and rescue workers responded to a Nissan pickup on its top, about 30 feet down the embankment.

David Kuykendoll, of Benicia, Calif., was found dead in his pick up, police said. There was no one else in the vehicle.

Investigators believe the pickup was eastbound when it veered off the south side of the highway, went over a guardrail and hit several trees.
