Several vehicles crashed after a tree fell on Highway 101, killing two people and injuring several others.
Two men were killed and five other people were injured early Sunday after multiple vehicles crashed into a fallen tree on southbound Highway 101 between Gilroy and Hollister, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP was alerted of a crash with possible injuries around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning at Cannon Road on Highway 101. Investigating officers found that a large eucalyptus tree fell on top of a Toyota in the number 2 lane of the highway, leaving the driver and two passengers with moderate to major injuries.
After the tree came to rest on top of the Toyota, blocking all highway lanes, a GMC traveling in the No. 1 lane hit the tree. Shortly after that, a BMW struck the tree from the No. 1 lane, causing major damage to the vehicle. The driver of the GMC, 50-year old Jason Manning from San Tan Valley, Ariz., and the front-right passenger in the BMW, 28-year old Ezequiel Sanchez from Gonzalez, both suffered fatal injuries as a result of their collisions. Their identities were not released Tuesday, pending notification of their next of kin.
