CAMPBELL – A driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter after a multicar collision left a man dead and a woman injured Thursday afternoon in Campbell, police said.
The fatal crash happened around 12:50 p.m. at the intersection of San Tomas Expressway and Campbell Avenue, the Campbell Police Department said in a statement.
Police said the suspect was driving northbound on San Tomas Expressway and tried to turn right onto Campbell Avenue but lost control of his vehicle and hit the median. He then entered opposing lanes of traffic and hit three vehicles before coming to a stop.
A man driving one of the vehicles that was struck died at the scene, police said. A woman who was riding with him was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition.
An investigation revealed the driver of the vehicle that caused the collision was “traveling at a high rate of speed and was unable to navigate the turn,” police said.
