LOS ALTOS HILLS (BCN) — An elderly woman was killed Sunday evening when her car overturned off of Interstate Highway 280 in Los Altos Hills, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
80-year-old Sylvia Crawley of San Jose, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office.
Crawley was heading south in a tan 2002 Kia sedan on the highway near the Page Mill Road off-ramp around 5:30 p.m. when she veered to the right, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
The vehicle traveled to the shoulder and overturned on its roof, Montiel said.
The woman was partially ejected from the car despite wearing a seatbelt and emergency crews pronounced her dead at the scene, according to Montiel.
Investigators don’t suspect drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, Montiel said.
The woman’s identity isn’t being released until her next of kin is notified of the death, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office.
Anyone who saw anything prior to the crash is asked to call CHP Officer Jeremy Graham at (408) 369-6261.
