2nd San Jose Nursing Home Resident Dies From Crash
SAN JOSE (KCBS) – A 100-year-old woman has died from injuries suffered when a woman crashed her car into a San Jose convalescent home on Saturday morning.
Suzanne Infante was the second resident to die as a result of the crash at Amberwood Gardens in the 1600 block of Peterson Avenue, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office.
KCBS' Betsy Gebhart Reports:
Esther Bocanegra, 88, died Saturday from her injuries.
Infante, Bocanegra and 10 or 12 other residents were in a common room at the home when a 90-year-old visitor parking her car hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes, and crashed through a large window, according to San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer.
Seven people were injured and taken to hospitals, Dwyer said.
The crash remains under investigation.
