SUNNYVALE, CA (July 18, 2022) – Two women died in a DUI pedestrian accident on Highway 101 in Sunnyvale early Saturday, July 16.
The fatal accident happened around 2:45 a.m. near Mathilda Avenue. According to the CHP, the victims – ages 40 and 22 – were passengers in a Toyota Prius. The Prius and a Jeep Wrangler were both heading south on the highway when they collided for unknown reasons.
The impact caused the Wrangler to overturn and the Prius to come to a stop in the highway lane.
The drivers and passengers of both vehicles climbed out and were standing near the vehicles.
A southbound Chevrolet Camaro could not stop in time to avoid the crash scene. The Camaro hit the Prius, throwing one of the women from the southbound to the northbound lanes.
