Vallejo Woman Injured in Highway 101 Crash

Intoxication is not suspected as a factor in a solo car crash in Novato on Wednesday that left a Vallejo woman with serious injuries, the California Highway Patrol said.

At about 3 p.m., Agnes Zaragosa veered right on northbound Highway 101 and struck a concrete sound wall at about 65 mph just north of the Alameda del Prado overpass. Her 1990 Ford Thunderbird then veered left after the impact and crossed all five lanes of the highway before hitting the center divider almost head-on, Officer Eric Hohmeister said.

Zaragosa, 45, was treated by paramedics from the for lacerations to her head and face and broken bones. Hohmeister said Zaragosa had a possible broken right arm and a compound fracture of her lower right leg. She was taken to Marin General Hospital for treatment.

The No. 1 lane of northbound 101 was closed at 3:08 p.m. and reopened about 20 minutes later.
