Edward Wesley Hildreth, an 86-year-old scientist and recent inductee into the Dipsea Race Hall of Fame, died in a road accident in Nevada. He was a passenger in a Chevrolet Tahoe that collided with a semi-truck while making a left turn. Hildreth, a respected geologist with a notable career, was a Harvard alumnus and specialized in volcanology, leaving behind a legacy in geological research and a mourning family, including his wife and ties to journalism through a family member.
The collision happened when a 2021 Kenworth semi-truck with a refrigerated box trailer approached from behind. The Tahoe, making a left turn to access a dirt road, was struck.
Mr. Hildreth, known by the name Wes, was a former geologist with the U.S. Geological Service office in Menlo Park, specializing in volcanos and contributing significantly to the field.
