Myong Kim Obituary – The California Highway Patrol has reported that a man from Castro Valley lost his life in a single-vehicle accident on the Grapevine section of Interstate 5. Initially, the CHP identified the driver of the crash as a 65-year-old man.
However, on February 5th, the Kern County coroner’s office officially named him as Myong Kim. The incident occurred at 12:40 a.m. on January 28th, on the northbound side of Interstate 5 near the Lebec off-ramp. According to the CHP, a Honda Accord crashed through a chain-link fence that separates the freeway from a service road, resulting in the vehicle overturning.
