Driver Suffers Life-Threatening Injuries on Montague Expressway

A driver suffered major injuries in a three-car collision on Montague Expressway in Santa Clara early this morning, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.

Shortly before 5:30 a.m., a woman was driving west on Montague Expressway at De La Cruz Boulevard when another vehicle changed lanes and struck her, CHP Officer Ross Lee said. The woman's vehicle spun out and ended up on eastbound lanes, where she was hit by a BMW, Lee said.

The woman suffered injuries that were considered life-threatening and was transported to a hospital, he said.

The BMW driver, a male, suffered minor injuries and was also taken to a hospital, according to Lee.

The driver of the first vehicle that struck the woman was not injured, Lee said.

Eastbound Montague Expressway at De La Cruz Boulevard was closed for about two hours after the collision, according to Lee.
