Man dies Saturday after collision, car flip on Highway 101 in Mountain View

MOUNTAIN VIEW — A man died early Saturday after the car he was driving and another car collided on Highway 101 in Mountain View, authorities said Saturday.

Shortly after midnight, the California Highway Patrol said a man in his 40s driving a Subaru collided with a BMW on 101 South, just north of the Highway 85 connection.

The driver of the Subaru apparently then lost control, and the car collided with a light pole, then hit the highway sound wall, and finally overturned onto its roof, according to CHP Officer Art Montiel.

The man, who was the only person in the Subaru, was taken by ambulance to Stanford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Montiel said. The man had not been identified as of Saturday night.

The people in the BMW were not injured, Montiel said.
