   A 27-year-old man from San Juan Capistrano was driving so fast   
   that his seat belt broke as he crashed his sedan into a utility   
   pole, ejecting him and causing him to be run over by traffic,   
   police said.   
      
   Diego Escamilla Lopez crashed at 2:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast   
   Highway and Doheny Park Plaza, said Orange County Sheriff’s Lt.   
   Jerry Carlsen and the coroner’s office.   
      
   Witnesses told sheriff’s investigators Lopez’s sedan had been   
   seen southbound at about 100 mph on PCH, Carlsen said.   
      
   “The driver (Lopez) lost control of the vehicle, struck a light   
   pole, was ejected through the windshield and run over by at   
   least one vehicle,” the lieutenant said. Paramedics pronounced   
   Lopez dead at the scene.   
      
   Lopez was wearing a seat belt. “He was driving at such a high   
   rate of speed the seatbelt was pulled away from its anchor   
   point” when the vehicle struck the pole, Carlsen said.   
      
   The driver of the vehicle that ran over Lopez stopped at the   
   scene, he said.   
      
   The sheriff’s Major Accident Reconstruction Team was   
   investigating the crash and a SigAlert was issued closing   
   Pacific Coast Highway between Doheny Park Road and Dana Point   
   Harbor Drive for much of the day, Carlsen said.
