The investigators said that the driver tried to overtake traffic and swerved partially into the westbound lane. Delgadillo then made a sharp turn to the right shoulder, causing the Honda to spin counterclockwise.
The vehicle crossed both traffic lanes of the highway and collided with an oncoming white 2000 Ford E-350 van operated by Luis C. Chicas, 46, of Redwood City. The collision impact killed Gutierrez, who sat on the front right passenger seat.
The CHP said that the victim wore a seatbelt while Delgadillo was not wearing one. Chicas sustained severe injuries, and medics conveyed him to San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp. A passenger in the Ford, Irvin Z. Medina, 34, of Redwood City, received treatment at the scene for minor wounds.
Two children in the Honda, aged 2 and 8, were hospitalized with severe injuries. Their identity remains unknown. The investigation is ongoing, and there’s no additional information.
