"Sarah Renazco was one of two drivers who died"
Um, Sarah Renazco was the wrong-way driver who undeniably CAUSED both deaths -- not just one of two fatalities.
The article text makes that clear, but the summary line at top blurs it.

Sarah was an aid in my kid's classroom. She was beyond wonderful with the kids. The school has good aids but Sarah stood out. She was not your image of a soldier but she was a soldier. She had that strength and confidence. I am so sorry to see Sarah go this way. Whatever the outcome of the investigation, this was a horrible accident.
Just feelings of grief.

I had Ms. Renazco (Daisy Renazco) as a teacher last year. She is one of the best and most caring teachers I have every known. It seems like her wife was just the same. Ms. Renazco deserves nothing less than our fullest support and love during this difficult time.

In order to end up southbound on Northbound 85, the only way I can imagine this is to make the turn from Shoreline (right turn going north, or left turn going south) onto the combined 85/101 Exit. The fact that this intersection isn't a conventional cloverleaf could be a cause of confusion.

Why is there a link to a gofundme page for the family of the person causing the crash and absolutely no mention of the Vietnamese young woman who she killed? I'm sorry, but this article seems biased and is upsetting to me. The innocent victim and her deserves more than a passing mention. Sarah may have been a great person, but she devastated two families the day she decided to drive on the wrong side of the freeway.

I think Sarah, who I knew, would feel the same way about the non-mention of the victim. But if you search for info on the victim, it’s not possible to find anything. Perhaps that’s why the reporter didn’t discuss Safa. Sarah was a very special person and I am heartbroken over what happened. It’s impossible to know what led to her driving that way on the freeway, at least for now and to all of us. Many prayers go out from my heart to Sarah’s family and Safa’s family too.

There is an obituary of Safa Ngo here: Web Link
"Safa I Ngo, age 35, of American Canyon passed away on September 13, 2019. Safa was born in Vietnam on August 30, 1984.
Safa I. Ngo graduated from the University of California Davis. Safa had a career with the US Customs and Border Protection Agency as an Agricultural Specialist.
He had a passion for traveling, music, working out, hiking, nature, trying new things, hanging out with family and friends, investing and helping others.
Safa is survived by his mother, two sisters, three brothers, one brother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews."
Rest in peace.

[Portion removed.] Safa (male) was an innocent victim and will always be remembered as a smiling, easy-going, loving son, brother, uncle, friend, and co-worker. He had his whole life ahead of him and did not deserve to go out like this. RIP Safa Ngo

I strongly request there be a retraction or edit. Why did the editor allow this story to run as is. Victim given passing mention. Please do your due diligence. You have a lot more power than you think.

Please have more respect for all the deceased Palo alto online and do not allow postings that can hurt surviving family members. Please do not allow postings in death announcements. It is very disrespectful to all parties to have people blogging.
