Drivers hurt in accident
MORGAN HILL – A 1995 GMC sports utility vehicle that rolled over Monday at about 8:05 a.m.
The SUV’s driver, a 16-year-old girl, turned north from Diana Avenue onto Hill Road and into the path of a southbound, late-model silver Toyota van driven by a man known only as “Joe.”
The male driver was carrying no identification and was not the van’s registered owner, CHP Officer T.C. Clark said. He was taken by medical helicopter to Valley Medical Center in San Jose. The girl was taken to Saint Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy as a precaution.
Hazardous scare
SAN MARTIN – A section of Murphy Avenue near the South County Airport in San Martin was closed for 10 minutes at 11:28 a.m. Monday morning while county hazardous materials specialists responded to some spilled paint on the side of the road.
