A 65-year-old Sunnyvale woman was killed in a Mountain View crash that occurred on northbound US 101 Saturday morning, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson said.
A SIG alert has been issued and the two right lanes of US 101 are blocked while 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 turned right, hit the barrier, bounced off the freeway, hit the center divider, then flew back across the freeway 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 that she succumbed to her injuries on the way to the hospital," Montiel explained.
CHP is looking for witnesses to help 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.
