The driver who was killed when his vehicle crashed more than 200 feet off Point Reyes-Petaluma Road Thursday was identified as Harry Samuel Atkinson, 80, of Daly City.
According to Andrew Barclay of the California Highway Patrol office in Marin County, the CHP received the call reporting the accident at 12:46 p.m. Thursday.
Atkinson's 2005 Ford Escape plunged 200 feet down an embankment on the 5900 block of the road, near the McEvoy Ranch.
Firefighters responded and used ropes to reach Atkinson and pull him back up the embankment, but he died after being airlifted to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
