SUNNYVALE, CA (May 6, 2024) – Early Sunday morning, a horrific multi-vehicle crash on Highway 101 near Mathilda Avenue killed 1 person.
The incident occurred at around 1:27 a.m. in the southbound lanes of Highway 101, past Mathilda Avenue.
Initially, reports said that the crash involved two vehicles. Then, it was later revealed it involved as many as three.
Officers have verified that a gray Mazda CX-5 was involved in striking a pedestrian. However, the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
