SAN MARCOS — Authorities have publicly identified a 73-year-old woman who died in a hospital last weekend from injuries she suffered 13 days earlier in a northern San Diego-area traffic crash.
Maria Guadalupe Sanchez of San Marcos was pronounced dead at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido on Saturday morning, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Sanchez had been hospitalized since Aug. 4, when the Scion sedan she was driving collided head-on with a pickup truck in the area of Deer Springs Road and Sycamore Drive in San Marcos, the agency reported.
She was admitted to the hospital with a poor prognosis, and her condition steadily worsened until the time of her death, according to the medical examiner.
