A driver was apparently trying to pass cars in the median of northbound Interstate 280 in Redwood City on Friday when he lost control of his sport-utility vehicle, smashing through the guard rail and tumbling to the southbound lanes below, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The 44-year-old San Jose man was headed north on the interstate near Edgewood Road at about 2:45 p.m. Friday when he started driving his Hummer H2 in the gravel median at a high speed, officer Eric Parsons said. He passed one car, then lost control, swerved to the left and struck the guard rail with the front of the SUV.
The SUV tumbled over a steep embankment and overturned onto its roof before landing in the southbound lanes of Interstate 280 and rolling back onto its wheels, Parsons said.
A piece of the Hummer came loose and went through the front windshield of a 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck, Parsons said, and one of the Hummer's tires popped off and collided with the front of a semi truck. Neither of those drivers were injured, Parsons said.
The Hummer then caught on fire, and several passing drivers stopped to help pull the driver from the car, Parsons said. He was unconscious and was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. No update on the man's condition was immediately available.
