Two people were killed in a head-on automobile collision in the Morgan Hill area on Tuesday afternoon.
The crash occurred at approximately 3 p.m., in the 19000 Hale Avenue near Willow Springs Road. A 2012 Volkswagen Golf was seen driving erratically. The Golf, driven by San Joseh resident Scott Lane, 51, veered into opposing lanes and collided with a northbound 2005 Chevy Tahoe.
The Tahoe was driven by Gilroy resident Malissa Moon, 29. Both Lane and Moon were pronounced dead on the scene, and both were pinned inside their vehicles and had to be extricated by first responders.
No other cars were involved in the crash, and there were no passengers in either vehicle.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing. Authorities are uncertain what caused the crash or why Lane may have been driving erratically, but alcohol and drugs are not yet believed to be a factor.
