Huntington Beach man dies of crash injuries

HUNTINGTON BEACH — A 26-year-old Huntington Beach man involved in a solo-vehicle crash last week succumbed to his injuries over the weekend, police said Monday.

Zachary John Gillespie died Saturday, police reported.

Gillespie, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was driving a 2006 Nissan Titan pickup east on Yorktown Avenue from Magnolia Street when the truck veered into the westbound lanes and then back into the eastbound lanes before slamming into a block wall and utility pole, police said.

The collision happened just after 6:30 a.m. on March 5.
