GILROY — A pregnant woman died in a head-on car crash Wednesday evening after a potentially intoxicated driver veered into oncoming traffic and hit the vehicle she was riding in, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision was reported at 6:37 p.m. after a 50-year-old man was seen driving a 2008 GMC pickup truck east on Leavesley Road, east of New Avenue, “at a high speed,” the CHP stated in a news release. The man’s vehicle crossed over into the westbound lane and hit a 2021 Chevrolet SUV.
