An award-winning journalist David Halberstam was killed Monday morning in a three-car crash in Menlo Park near the Dumbarton Bridge.
Halberstam died instantly after an Infiniti slammed into the passenger side of the Toyota Camry in which he was a passenger. He died of massive internal injuries.
Jean Halberstam told the Associated Press that her husband was being driven to an interview with Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle for a new book, “The Game,” about the 1958 NFL championship game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants.
The 73-year-old author won his Pulitzer at age 30 in 1964 and was a Pulitzer finalist for his 2002 bestseller, “War in a Time of Peace.”
His reporting on the Vietnam War earned him a Pulitzer Prize and national acclaim.
