FBI AGENT DIES IN CAR BLAZE

A Granada Hills man employed by the FBI plunged to his death in the

early hours of Monday morning when his car smashed through a guard

rail near Cayucos, on High-way One, and burst into flames.

Firefighters called to the scene were unable to rescue James Bayley, aged 33, from the inferno that incinerated him in his vehicle. According to local fire chief Larry Mc-Gregor, the impact of the car on the rocky seashore rup-tured its electric fuel cell, releasing hydrogen gas that contributed to the blaze. Remains of the driver were so charred, identification had to be done by DNA sampling.

Bruce Taylor, whose restaurant the Fisherman's Inn is located less than 500 feet from the accident, told investiga-tors he heard a squeal of tires followed by a crash and a loud explosion around 5:00 a.m. "It made the windows rattle," he said. "I got down there as quick as I could, but the guy inside looked like he was already burned up."

FBI sources stated that although Bayley was a special agent in the Department of Technology-Related Crime, he was off-duty at the time of

the accident.

Local police discounted the possibility that a mechani-cal fault might have caused the car to go off the highway. "I figure he just didn't see the curve in the road," said Sergeant George Turner of the Cayucos Police Depart-ment. "We put up a steel barrier and a warning sign after the last guy went over the edge there. It looks to me like this one just fell asleep at the wheel."

Bayley is survived by his wife, Sharon, and four-year-old son,

Damon.
