2nd Fatal Vehicle Crash In 4 Days Occurs At Intersection Near Gilroy: CHP

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA -- A fatal collision involving a vehicle and a motorcycle occurred Wednesday just outside of Gilroy, according to the California Highway Patrol. It happened at the same intersection where a fatal crash happened a few days earlier, the CHP says.

The most recent collision was reported at 9:10 p.m. April 19 near Leavesley and Holsclaw roads.

According to a preliminary report, a white sedan collided with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was reportedly found possibly injured in the roadway, CHP officials said.

Some roads in the area were temporarily closed as the CHP investigated the collision, according to a CHP dispatcher.

The intersection is the same location where a different fatal crash occurred Sunday, also involving a motorcycle.

In that incident, a 2007 Harley-Davidson collided with a 2000 Ford, causing major injuries to the motorcyclist, later identified as 53-year-old Gilroy resident Richard Martinez. Martinez was taken to a
hospital, where he died a short while later.
