A woman died Friday night when the minivan she was driving rammed head-on into a tree in a center median on Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale, public safety officials said.
The collision, which occurred north of Sandia Avenue, occurred around 9:30 p.m. and involved only one vehicle, the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said on Saturday. The woman was the sole occupant of the car.
Officials have not yet identified the victim.
