   Even a seat belt couldn’t save the driver of a 100 mph car in   
   Dana Point Sunday when the vehicle slammed into a utility pole,   
   the victim was ejected through the windshield and then run over   
   by another vehicle.   
      
   The driver 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, Orange County Sheriff’s   
   Lt. Jerry Carlsen said.   
      
   The driver of the vehicle that ran over the ejected motorist   
   stopped at the scene, he said.   
      
   It happened at 2:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Highway and Doheny   
   Park Plaza, said Carlsen.   
      
   Witnesses told sheriff’s investigators the sedan was southbound   
   at about 100 mph on Pacific Coast Highway, Carlsen said.   
      
   “The driver 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.   
      
   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, Carlsen said.
