The man suffered fatal injuries, Murawski said. His name has not yet been release pending next of kin notification.
Guzman was transported to a hospital with major injuries, he said.
Alcohol or drugs were not suspected as a factor in the crash, Murawski said.

October 2, 2018 at 11:09 amEVERY SINGLE TIME i approach a street with stop signs, EVEN if I have the right of way, I ALWAYS check for oncoming traffic from other directions. JUST to make sure they are stopping/slowing down.
Follow this simple rule here in the AV and it just might save your life.
Tragic. RIP
