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.

Mr. Jiminez was airlifted by Calstar helicopter to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for treatment of injuries, which included multiple fractures, abrasions and lacerations.

Jogging in an astronaut suit can’t be easy.

Jogging with your back to traffic in a 55 mph zone. That’s some risky behavior.

I always see runners on the right side and they act like they’re impervious to cars. They assume that the car sees them. With everyone texting, eating, talking on cell phones, putting on makeup and doing everything BUT driving, I never trust the other driver.

Unless it can see well beyond the roadway, this will be impossible.

“Driving into the sun can be dangerous.”

Driving a car that makes little or no noise is also problematic. Then there’s the issue of ear buds and an iPod if one was present. Still it’s the driver of the car who is obligated to see and avoid.

Mr. Crosby, throughout his career, has always had a little trouble, staying away from anything that ‘enhanced the conscoiusness’.

But now, we have had a first!

An obama car has now been fully registered with it’s first traffic accident, not caused by a battery fault, but by a human, who might have been ... on a different plane.

The ‘choam president’ must be proud.

It sounds like a simple accident.

There is a reason why jogging trails were invented.

So if you take out a jogger in an electric car does that mean the car has a *negative* carbon footprint?

Because he's a follower of Choam Nomsky?

Got hit on my Harley years ago for the same reason.

So, if I understand this correctly, this is like the SUV attacks we had in the 90s? David Crosby was minding his own business when his eeeevil Tesla ran over a man?

Don’t go a walkin’ in Manhattan Beach; a lot of Eevil cars will want to kill you.
