A 16-year-old boy from Sunnyvale was killed in a two-car collision in Santa Clara on Saturday night, September 20, 2025.
According to the Santa Clara Police Department, the crash occurred around 9:36 p.m. on northbound Lawrence Expressway approaching Benton Street.
The teen was driving a Honda Accord with two teenage passengers when he changed lanes too closely to a Toyota Camry in the adjacent lane, causing the left rear of the Honda to strike the front right of the Camry. The impact caused the Honda to lose control and collide with a traffic signal pole.
The driver was still inside the wreck when officers arrived. Santa Clara Fire Department personnel attempted life-saving measures, but the teen was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released pending identification and next-of-kin notification. The two passengers in the Honda sustained minor injuries, and the teen driver of the Toyota remained at the scene.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
