Fatal Marin Crash Victim ID’d

MARIN COUNTY, CA — The victim of a fatal crash over the weekend has been identified as Miles Walter Kintz, 22 of Petaluma, the Marin County Coroner’s Office said.

The two-vehicle crash Saturday in rural West Marin County left another person with major non-life-threatening injuries, the California Highway Patrol said.

The collision occurred sometime before 1:22 p.m. Saturday on Point Reyes Petaluma Road, north of Hicks Valley Road, the CHP said.

A 2000 Subaru Impreza traveling southbound collided with a 1999 Honda Accord traveling northbound amid wet road conditions, according to the CHP.

For reasons still under investigation, the driver of the Subaru lost control, crossing into the northbound lane and into the path of the Honda. The front of the Honda collided with the passenger side of the Subaru.

The driver of the Subaru, later identified as Kintz, was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.

The Honda driver, a 58-year-old Olema resident, sustained major non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital.

Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision, the CHP said.
