5:30 pm – identification of the badly burned body is still on-going, however, a wallet was found with ID that matched the registration on the vehicle. This information does NOT point to a Big Sur local, but to someone who lives in town.
2:00 pm – KSBY confirms the driver, and sole occupant, of the vehicle died in the accident. There is speculation about who the driver was, but nothing is confirmed at this time.
10:30 am – A vehicle went over the side of the road at Big Creek this morning and caught fire. CHP, MCSO and others on the scene. It is too steep for a cliff & rescue operation, so a 300 ft cable is being brought in, as well as a medical unit. There is not a lot of hope that there are any survivors, but one never knows. There is no indication of a vegetation fire, only a lot of smoke at this time.
PLEASE; THE FOREST IS CLOSED. DO NOT ENTER. The land, the critters, and the people…

That is really sad news Kate.
Oh, darn Kate. I saw emergency services headed down the coast awhile ago, and had been hoping it wasn't for something dire....
Kate... Dani & the baby were headed down there just around 10:30am. She was in a black Azuzu Montero. She was supposed to be back here between 1:00 - 1:30pm but hasn't showed up. Elijah sits in the carseat in the back seat. PLEASE let me know if it was them!!!
Pennie, accident happened between 9 and 9:30. Male driver the sole occupant. NOT Dani.
Any word on who was killed? It makes me worry. The highway has taken a lot of folks I have known.
