SAN JOSE — A woman died this week of injuries she suffered in a collision nearly a month ago in San Jose, according to authorities.
The two-vehicle crash happened around 9:05 a.m. on Sept. 9 at the intersection of First Street and Gish Road, San Jose police Officer Tanya Hernandez said in a news release.
A 2006 GMC Sierra was traveling southbound on First Street, ran a red light and collided with a 2021 Ford Explorer traveling westbound on Gish Road, Hernandez said.
The drivers — both men — and their passengers — a man, woman and boy in the GMC and two children in the Ford — were taken to area hospitals with various injuries.
The woman died Tuesday, Hernandez said. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office will release her identity once it is confirmed and her next of kin is notified.
The death marked the 40th traffic fatality of the year on city streets. At this time last year, San Jose had recorded the same number of roadway deaths.
