The woman who died in a car accident last week in San Jose, California, has been identified as Yadira Chable, a 33-year-old Los Gatos resident. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the identity on Wednesday, September 30th.

The car accident report placed the time of the occurrence around 11 p.m. on Wednesday, September 23rd. According to the California Highway Patrol, the solo crash occurred on the southbound lane of Highway 101 north of Bernal Road.

The investigators said that Chable drove a 2015 Honda in the No. 6 lane at speed greater than 65 miles per hour. She crossed into the No. 5 lane, and struck the right side of a 2020 Honda. The woman lost control of her car, traveled to the west shoulder, and collided with a tree.

The CHP said they pronounced the victim dead at the scene. Anyone with information on the occurrence should contact the investigators on the listed line.

Speeding is one of the predominant causes of motor vehicle accidents in California. Under the state’s Basic Speed Law, a driver must not drive faster than is safe for current road conditions, and never faster than the posted speed limit, even if it appears safe to do so.

The maximum speed limit on the state’s roadways is 65 miles per hour, and motorists can only drive at 70 mph if posted. Additionally, unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit for a two-lane undivided highway and vehicles towing trailers is 55 miles per hour.
