SAN JOSE, Calif.
A passenger was killed in a crash on the connector ramp from U.S. Highway 101 to northbound Interstate Highway 680 in San Jose early Saturday morning when the vehicle collision threw a woman over a retaining wall, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported at about 1:50 a.m. and a Sig-alert was issued at 2:20 a.m., signaling the blockage of all lanes on northbound 101 near the connector ramp.
CHP officers received a report of a collision involving two vehicles on the transition ramp.
When officers arrived at the scene there was a green 1999 Honda and a red 2004 Mazda blocking the lanes of traffic, according to the CHP.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of the Honda lost control of the vehicle while transitioning onto northbound I-680 from northbound Highway 101, causing the vehicle to crash into the concrete retaining wall, the CHP said.
Following the collision, both the female driver and the female passenger of the Honda got out of the vehicle.
The driver of a Mazda was traveling on southbound Highway 101 onto northbound I-680 and saw the Honda blocking the lanes of traffic, but was unable to avoid striking the Honda, the CHP said.
The force of the collision caused the female passenger who was standing on the ramp to be thrown over the retaining wall, according to the CHP.
She landed on the King Road off-ramp from I-680 below and was declared deceased at the scene, the CHP officials said.

A driver, who apparently suffered a medical emergency, drove a Ford Explorer through a retaining wall Friday afternoon nearly hitting a home at the corner of East Fourth Avenue and 12th St. For the story, see Page 3A.
A Durango woman was picking up her kids from school when she got a call from a firefighter friend: Hey, theres a car in your yard. It almost hit your house.
The incident unfolded at about 3:30 p.m. Friday. A driver in a maroon Ford Explorer raced up 12th Street, past the Mason Center, before entering a residential yard at 1174 East Fourth Ave., jumping a brick landscaping wall and stopping just shy of the home itself, according to witnesses and authorities.
The driver apparently suffered a medical emergency, first responders said.
Hes got a history of seizures, said Durango police Sgt. Jeremiah Lee.
Authorities on scene declined to identify the driver, who refused medical treatment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
A man died early Monday afternoon after a serious crash on the on-ramp of Interstate 40 East from Broadway in downtown Nashville.
Police said a witness reported seeing 34-year-old Phillip Ford, of Brentwood, attempt to change lanes upon entering the highway around 1:55 p.m.
Ford's Toyota Camry sideswiped a tractor trailer in the process, leading him to swerve back to the right and lose control.
His vehicle struck the rock retaining wall head-on.
Ford, who was on his way home from work at the time of the crash, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
Police said the tractor trailer did not stop. Information about the truck or its driver is not known at this time.
There was no evidence Ford was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
