SANTA CRUZ The victim of a Sunday morning crash at the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf that resulted in a vehicle driving through the railing and into the Monterey Bay has been identified as William Westerman, 65, of Scotts Valley. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office confirmed Westerman's identity Monday afternoon. On Monday, lilies had been placed at the spot on the wharf where the vehicle drove through the railing and a crew from the city of Santa Cruz was working to repair the damage.

Crews on Saturday responded to a report about several people who fell in the water at the mouth of Tomales Bay near Tomales Point in "rough ocean conditions," the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said in a social media post. The call came in at 11:53 a.m. from someone on the shore, Emily Fuller, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, told SFGATE.
