A 44-year-old Los Gatos woman and her 12-year-old daughter died in a crash Wednesday in Santa Clara, police said.
The crash was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday in the area of San Tomas Expressway and Forbes Avenue, where officers arrived to find a white 2021 Tesla Model Y had crashed into a tree, according to Santa Clara police.
