The crash happened shortly after noon on Friday at the intersection of N. Tantau and Pruneridge avenues between a Chevrolet Trax and a Toyota Camry. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said when deputies and other first responders arrived, they found a woman and child who were in the Trax with serious injuries. They were taken to a hospital where the child, a two-year-old girl who was properly restrained in the vehicle, died of her injuries. The woman survived with head and spinal injuries, while the driver of the Camry suffered minor injuries, a deputy's report said.
