Sunnyvale Man Killed in Hwy. 87 Crash

Brett Wayne Wofford, 54, died Wednesday afternoon after his truck hit the guardrail, ricocheted into the center divide and overturned.

A man killed in a one-car crash on state Highway 87 in San Jose on Wednesday afternoon has been identified by the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office as Sunnyvale resident Brett Wayne Wofford.

Wofford, 54, was traveling within the speed limit in the No. 2 lane on northbound Highway 87, just south of West Taylor Street, when he lost control of his white Nissan truck, California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer DJ Sarabia said.

The truck darted to the right and hit the guardrail before ricocheting to the center divider and overturning, Sarabia said.

The crash was reported at 1:49 p.m. Wofford was wearing his seatbelt and driving alone at the time of the crash, Sarabia said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, Sarabia said. No other vehicles were involved. There was no indication that Wofford was under influence of alcohol, Sarabia said.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
