Man dies in single-vehicle crash in Atascadero 

chp–The man killed in a single-vehicle crash in Atascadero early Sunday morning has been identified as Eric J. Polmanteer, 50, of Atascadero, according to California Highway Patrol.

Reports say that at about 12:15 a.m., Polmanteer was driving north on El Camino Real south of Asuncion Road when he lost control of his vehicle. He then drove onto a dirt shoulder that descended downward on the right side of the road, rolled and collided with a fence, and was partially ejected from the car.
