Two motorists died in a head-on collision on Hale Avenue in north Morgan Hill Tuesday afternoon, according to police.
About 3 p.m. Jan. 17, authorities responded to the accident involving a Volkswagen and a Chevrolet Tahoe on Hale Avenue just south of Willow Springs Road.
The drivers of both vehicles were pronounced dead at the scene, according to California Highway Patrol Ofc. Smith. An adult female was driving the Tahoe, and an adult male was driving the Volkswagen. No other occupants were in either vehicle.
The identities of the drivers were not immediately available.
The Volkswagen was allegedly driving southbound in the northbound lane of Hale Avenue when it struck the Tahoe, which was traveling northbound. Smith said “multiple witnesses” reported that the driver of the Volkswagen was speeding, passing other vehicles and driving recklessly before the accident.
Both lanes of Hale Avenue between Willow Springs Road and Tilton Avenue were closed to all vehicle traffic while police investigated and cleaned up the scene during the afternoon commute, police said.
