A fatal crash on Highway 101 in San Jose closed the highway for several hours, according to local sources. California Highway Patrol responded to the motor vehicle accident that claimed the life of an 18-year-old man and sent one other person to the hospital. The driver believed to be responsible for the initial crash is a minor, and it is not clear whether criminal charges will be filed against him as of this report.

According to the report, the 16-year-old driver was headed northbound with his 18-year-old passenger on Highway 101 around 1 a.m. the morning of May 20 when the accident occurred. It appears the driver jumped a curb while attempting to enter the northbound on-ramp. This caused the car to leave the road and slide down an embankment before coming to rest in two highway lanes.

Two people are dead and seven others, all of them children, have been injured after a rollover crash closed Interstate 8 on the morning of May 4. California Highway Patrol has confirmed that the children were all between the ages of 1 and 12. As the driver is among the deceased, no criminal charges are likely to be filed in this motor vehicle accident, but the families of the injured children as well as the family of the other deceased party have legal recourse available to them under state law.

According to the report filed by CHP, around 8:30 a.m. a 42-year-old man was driving a vehicle towing a heavy trailer east on Interstate 8. The driver apparently drifted onto the dirt shoulder and, in attempting to correct his course, overturned the vehicle and its accompanying load. The vehicle is believed to have turned over several times into the left lane of traffic before coming to a rest on the median.

California police say the man is suspected of driving drunk and causing the fatal car accident that killed three people, including a 6-month-old baby.

The man was reportedly traveling fast enough that the van was dragged some 25 feet down the street before striking a curb and catching fire.
