Coroner ID's Passenger Who Died In Crash At Napa Intersection

NAPA, CA — A woman died and another person was injured Thursday in a Napa traffic collision, police said.

The two-vehicle crash was reported just before 2:15 p.m. at the intersection of Soscol Avenue and Silverado Trail, Napa police Sgt. Kristofer Jenny said.

Personnel from the Napa Fire Department began rendering aid to three adults involved in the collision. An AMR ambulance crew then arrived and took two patients to a local hospital.

Despite lifesaving efforts, one of the patients was pronounced dead at the hospital, Jenny said.

The deceased woman was identified Friday as Mary Sloan, 85, of Napa, who was a passenger in one of the involved vehicles.

Sloan died at Queen of the Valley Medical Center about 45 minutes after the crash, according to Henry Wofford, spokesperson for the Napa County Sheriff-Coroner's Office.

Road closures were in place for about two hours for the Napa Police Department Accident Reconstruction Team. Soscol was closed between Kansas Avenue and Saratoga Drive, and southbound Silverado Trail was closed at Saratoga Drive.

The preliminary investigation indicated a car was traveling northbound on Soscol when it collided with an SUV that was turning onto Silverado Trail from Soscol.

Police said the involved parties cooperated with the investigation.

Neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be factors.
