A man who was found dead in a vehicle that went over a cliff northeast of Mount Hamilton on Tuesday afternoon has been identified by the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office as 60-year-old Pleasanton resident James Yacorzynski.
The discovery was made around 2 p.m. Tuesday off of Mines Road near Turner Gulch Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
CHP Officer Ross Lee said investigators aren't sure how long Yacorzynski and the Tesla had been there. No other details about the crash were immediately available.

My husband Jim was not killed in the Tesla, the car protected him perfectly. When the car landed, he was able to exit the car, but after a few steps he had a coronary event, collapsed and died. We just celebrated his 60th birthday on the 11th; life can be so unfair...
