Based on an initial investigation, police said Hobbs was driving in the third lane and veered off the road for an "unknown reason."

The car hit a shrub and a small tree, continued uphill and then collided with a larger tree, throwing the driver from the vehicle, Beads said. He said the driver was not wearing a seat belt.

"All I know is if the guy was wearing a seatbelt, he would still be alive," police said.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident, police said. Hobbs was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
