Man Killed In Wednesday A.M. Crash On I-280

A male driver was killed early this morning on Interstate Highway 280 near Los Altos when he lost control of his car, slammed into a center divider and another car crashed into him, according to the California Highway Patrol.

At 1:46 a.m., CHP officers were dispatched to the crash scene on northbound Highway 280 north of the on-ramp to Foothill Expressway, CHP Officer Moises Escoto said.

The male driver of a BMW sedan traveling in a northbound lane of the highway lost control of his car, crashed into the center divider and ended up back in the roadway, where the male driver of a Honda sedan collided with him, Escoto said.

The BMW driver died at the scene while the Honda driver suffered no injuries, Escoto said. Neither of the cars had any passengers, he said.

The BMW driver’s name is not yet being released by the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office. Wet weather conditions did not appear to have been a factor in the crash and investigators do not yet know whether the use of drugs or alcohol contributed to it, Escoto said.
