The crash happened around 12:40 p.m. at Bloomfield Avenue, said California Highway Patrol Officer Alfredo Uribe.

A 2016 Freightliner tractor-trailer combination was traveling northbound on State Route 25 at 40 mph when a Hyundai Elantra made a left turn onto the highway from westbound Bloomfield Avenue, Uribe said. The big rig then collided with the car.

The driver of the Hyundai suffered fatal injuries in the crash, Uribe said. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office will release her identity once it is confirmed and her next of kin is identified.

Uribe said the collision left the driver of the big rig with minor injuries to his left hand.

Neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to play a role in the crash, Uribe said.

Anyone with information related to the case can contact the CHP Hollister-Gilroy area office at 408-427-0700.
