"An initial investigation found that a 16-year-old Sunnyvale boy was driving a Honda Accord carrying two teenage passengers, when he changed lanes to the left too closely to a Toyota Camry traveling in the other lane, causing the left-rear portion of the Honda to hit the front-right end of the Toyota. The impact caused the Honda driver to lose control and hit a traffic signal pole, police said."
"When police officers arrived at the crash site, the driver was still inside the wreck while his two passengers had gotten out. The Santa Clara Fire Department tried to revive the boy, but he died at the crash site, police said. His name was not publicly released pending his formal identification and notification of his next of kin by the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office."
