UPDATE:
The deceased man has been identified as 57-year-old Carl Haney of the 6500 block of Etzel Avenue.
On February 1, 2025, just after 11:00AM, District 4 officers were called to Interstate 70 westbound at Branch for a single-vehicle accident. When officers arrived, they located a 57-year-old male unresponsive inside a sedan.
The male was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
A preliminary investigation revealed the sedan was traveling westbound on I-70 when for unknown reasons, the vehicle veered off the right side of the highway, crossed over Branch and came to a rest.
The SLMPD Accident Reconstruction Team responded and is handling the investigation.
