Singer David Crosby struck a jogger with his car Sunday night in Santa Ynez, Calif., and the jogger was airlifted to a hospital in Santa Barbara, a police spokesman told CNN.
The jogger suffered multiple fractures, California Highway Patrol Spokesman Don Clotworthy said, but his injuries were not expected to be life-threatening, CNN reported. Clotworthy said Crosby was driving 50 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Crosby, 73, traveling west on Baseline Avenue in his 2015 Tesla Sedan, was driving toward the sun and did not see the jogger, Jose Jiminez, 46, of Santa Ynez, Clotworthy said, according to Fox News. Jiminez was was "propelled" forward, and the man "landed hard, suffering multiple fractures, abrasions and lacerations," reported TV station KEYT, which added that Jiminez was with his son, who was not injured.
According to CNN, Crosby and the jogger were on the same side of the road, said the spokesman, who added that pedestrians are supposed to be on the left side of the road, walking toward traffic.
"Mr. Crosby was cooperative with authorities and he was not impaired or intoxicated in any way. Mr. Crosby did not see the jogger because of the sun," said Clotworthy, according to CNN.
According to Fox News: "Mr. Crosby was not impaired at the time of the incident, and alcohol or drugs were not a factor, the CHP said. The cause of the collision remains under investigation by the CHP."
