SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – A man died after a solo car crash off West Camino Cielo Road just after 9:30 p.m., according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

Crash technology from the man's Toyota notified first responders about the crash before crews drove seven miles past the road's end and found his truck, according to the SBCFD.

The truck went about 300 feet over the side of the road and crews did not find anyone in the car during an initial search, according to the SBCFD.

Crews later found the man dead in steep terrain before a drone operator helped look for additional victims, according to the SBCFD.

SBCFD found no other victims, though the crash remains under investigation. Additional questions on the crash should be directed to the CHP.
