A Santa Ynez man suffered major injuries Sunday night after being run over by singer-songwriter David Crosby, according to officials.
At around 5:45 p.m., Mr. Crosby, 73, of Santa Ynez, was traveling west on Baseline Avenue in his 2015 Tesla sedan, according to California Highway Patrol Sgt. Don Clotworthy. Mr. Crosby, who was driving into the sun, did not see the jogger on the right side of the road. The man, Jose Jiminez, 46, of Santa Ynez, was struck and fell to the ground.
At the time of the collision, Mr. Crosby was traveling at a reported speed of 55 mph, which is the speed limit on Baseline Avenue, Sgt. Clothworthy said.

Good for him for calling it in.
Sounds like the guy was in pretty bad shape.
The 911 operators are talking kind of snarky.
Yes, I thought that the 911 operator was rude and unprofessional.
“Driving into the sun can be dangerous.”
Is that a Crosby lyric?
I wonder why he had to call back, again, for the ambulance request. I thought they typically stay on the phone with you until medics arrive. Maybe that’s Onstar :-/
It should be. Can I get a song credit? I could use the residuals.
I’m driiivin’ my Tesla into the sun,
Battery power is speedy and fun,
But drivin’ into the sun can be dangerous,
And you’ll get a lot of attention when you’re famerous..
Did you hear Keith Richards snorted some of his dead father’s ashes, just for kicks? That is one very sick dude. He should have done some time for that one, IMO.
I think he just wanted to be sure the ambulance was on the way.
Maybe he should try getting around in a wooden ship instead.
DANG!
I thought he was joking. Dennis Leary made a joke about Keith already doing all the drugs so everyone had to wait until he died, so they could smoke his ashes.
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ ‘bout very free and easy
SILVER PEOPLE????
how is it that this lunatic has a valid drivers license??
Wooden Ships takes place in a post-nuclear war setting. Obviously, all that radiation was making him hallucinate.
given his ah “backgroud” so to speak...hallucinations were and likely remain something of a hobby with the man...
I hope these guys stay around a little longer, too!
