Woman Dies From Injuries Suffered In Vallejo Crash, Police Say

VALLEJO, CA — A 92-year-old woman involved in a traffic crash Sunday morning in Vallejo has died, according to the Vallejo Police Department. The woman, a front-seat passenger in a vehicle that crashed into a traffic signal pole, had been hospitalized following the crash with life-threatening injuries.

Police were notified Thursday the Vallejo woman passed away, and said it is believed her age was a major contributing factor to her death.

Officers responded Sunday at 4:46 a.m. Sunday to the area of Wilson Avenue and Lighthouse Drive on a report of a traffic crash.

Responding officers learned a 2011 Lexus SUV with two people inside was traveling south on Wilson Avenue when the vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a traffic signal pole.

Both occupants of the vehicle were transported to the hospital.

The deceased woman's daughter, a 58-year-old Vallejo resident, was driving the car and suffered minor injuries in the crash, police said.

Investigators said it does not appear speed played a factor in the crash as the vehicle was traveling slower than the posted speed limit at the time of impact.

Police also said it does not appear drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash.
