One person died and two others were injured Monday morning after a car veered off Interstate Highway 280 in Los Altos Hills and crashed into a tree, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported about 7:50 a.m. along I-280, north of El Monte Road. A Honda Accord heading south on the highway went through the center median between a metal guardrail and concrete barrier and crashed into a tree, the CHP said.
A woman in the rear passenger seat was not wearing a seat belt and suffered fatal injuries. Her name was not released.
The man driving the car and a woman in the front passenger seat suffered major injuries and were transported to Stanford Medical Center, the CHP said.
Unfortunately, southbound 280 north of Foothill College has a short stretch which is missing the usual concrete wall next to the #1 lane. For some reason, the vehicle veered off the road into the median strip where it hit the tree.
