May 8, 2008 (by Otto Smyth)

A man who was fatally injured in an accident on Highway 166 was remembered today by family and friends as well as the community.

The man who was killed has been identified as Charles McAtee of Bakersfield and he was said to be a pioneer in the real estate industry. He was the CEO of Pacific Auction Exchange.

The car accident occurred in the vicinity of Tepusquet Road neat Santa Maria and is reported that it is the first death on this roadway so far this year.

According to the California Highway Patrol the car that McAtee was driving crossed the lane as he was approaching a curve. In the other lane when he crossed over was a tractor-trailer truck. They also said that he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident and was thrown from the Corvette he was driving.

It was further reported that he was airlifted to the hospital where he later was pronounced dead. Los Angeles wrongful death attorneys deal in these cases and our hearts go out to the family.
