A male driver died after crashing off of state Highway 1 north of Jenner in Sonoma County Tuesday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The crash was reported at about 8:20 a.m., when a passerby observed a car that had gone off of the highway and went about 300 feet down a cliff, CHP officials said.

Emergency responders found a 2014 Tesla at the bottom of the cliff with a male dead behind the wheel, according to the CHP.

The crash remains under investigation by the CHP and no other information was immediately available this afternoon.
