A 65-year-old Sunnyvale woman has died in a crash in Mountain View that occurred on northbound U.S. Highway 101 Saturday morning, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
A Sig alert has been issued and the two right lanes of U.S. 101 are blocked as officers investigate the crash, which was reported around 6:45 a.m. Saturday.
A white sport utility vehicle crashed at the Ellis intersection, according to CHP Officer Art Montiel.
"The information is preliminary, but it appears that a white Nissan Rogue was traveling northbound on US 101 at the Ellis interchange when, for unknown reasons, the driver lost control of the vehicle," Montiel said.
"The vehicle veered to the right, struck the barrier, bounced across the highway, struck the center divider, then flew back across the highway and crashed into a tree on the right shoulder," Montiel said.
Medics were transporting the driver, a 65-year-old Sunnyvale woman, to the hospital when "it appears she succumbed to her injuries on the way to the hospital," Montiel said.
CHP is seeking witnesses to assist in the investigation, Montiel said. Anyone who was in the area and saw what happened is asked to call CHP at (650) 779-2700, the officer said.
