Coroner IDs Teen Killed In Sunol Crash

SUNOL, CA — A woman who died in a crash Monday night on Interstate Highway 680 in unincorporated Alameda County was identified today by the county coroner's bureau as 19-year-old Isabelle Munoz of Manteca. Shortly before 9:30 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers responded to a crash on northbound Highway 680 south of Andrade Road.

Munoz was driving a 2000 BMW when, for a reason yet to be determined, she suddenly turned right and struck the uphill dirt embankment. The vehicle overturned multiple times and came back to rest on the highway, where a 2006 Dodge struck it, according to the CHP. Munoz was pronounced dead to the scene.

There were three people from Dublin in the Dodge, a 66-year-old man driving it, a 65-year-old female
passenger and a 32-year-old male passenger. The 65-year-old woman suffered minor chest injuries while the other two people were uninjured, CHP officials said.

The crash prompted the shutdown of multiple northbound lanes of Highway 680 until about 1:55 a.m., according to the CHP. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call the CHP's Dublin
office at (925) 828-0466.
