(Bob Rendell/NBC Bay Area/KNTV via AP) ] CASTRO VALLEY — A one-time member of the Cal marching band and chemical engineer died Sunday night when his electric car crashed through a fence and into a pond, authorities said. Keith Leung, 34, of Danville, died after the Tesla Model S Sedan he was driving went through a fence on property in the 11000 block of Crow Canyon Road, just south of Bollinger Canyon Road, California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Dan Jacowitz said. He died at the scene. An Alameda County Sheriff’s Office dive team found the car with Leung inside it after combing through the pond for several hours, authorities said. According to a Facebook page dedicated to Cal band alumni, Leung played the clarinet and mellophone among many instruments. He graduated from Cal in 2006, according to the page. Leung’s LinkedIn page said he was a chemical engineer and played for various musical groups. He had been a member of the Danville Community Band since September 2001. CHP officers responded to the scene around 7:50 p.m., after a resident on the property called 911, Jacowitz said. They arrived to find debris from the vehicle, as well as a broken fence and broken sign located off the roadway, he said. That debris and other clues at the scene led the CHP to believe the car went into the pond, and they called the dive team. That team arrived around 10 p.m., and about nine members went below the water to find the car. “It was an intense situation for them,” Jacowitz said. “They had zero visibility, heavy brush. There were lots of obstructions to work through. They spent several hours down there.” Leung was still in the car when divers found it. It was about 65 feet away from the entrance to the pond, Jacowitz said. “Those vehicles are designed to get wet,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said. “We took precautions, and made the proper calls to make sure that if they touched the car, the divers were safe.” According to Jacowitz, investigators believe Leung was going north on Crow Canyon Road when the crash happened. He said it’s too early to determined with drugs or alcohol were involved. “This is a very tragic situation,” he said. Crow Canyon Road was closed overnight as the CHP investigated the crash. The road reopened at 5:46 a.m. [© 2018 Digital First Media] http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/05/21/tesla-driver-found-dead-in-car-submerged-in-pond.html Tesla driver found dead in car submerged in pond May 21, 2018 A property owner who saw the broken fence and evidence of a crash called in ... submerged sedan as they took precautions to deal safely with the electric car ...
