MORGAN HILL -- Police in Morgan Hill are investigating a multi-vehicle crash over the weekend that sent four people to the hospital with injuries, authorities said.
On Sunday at around 8:19 p.m., officers responded to the area of E. Dunne Avenue at Gallop Drive after the report of a multi-vehicle collision with at least one of the vehicles overturned. Arriving officers found three vehicles in the roadway as well as multiple occupants suffering significant injuries.
Emergency responders from Cal Fire and Santa Clara County EMS arrived to provide medical care to the injured occupants. Police said three individuals were transported to area hospitals, with one subject airlifted from the scene by Cal Star air ambulance.
