Former Pinnacle reporter Kate Woods remains in critical condition today following a single-car accident Saturday on Panoche Road, according to a spokeswoman with Regional Medical Center of San Jose.
The 52-year-old Paicines resident was airlifted from the scene, at Panoche and Recaldi roads, after being found unconscious.
At about 11:30 p.m., Woods drove a 1995 Mazda Miata off the road. The vehicle turned over, and she was ejected from the car, according to the California Highway Patrol.
When authorities arrived, she had sustained unknown external injuries, according to the CHP. She has been in critical condition until this afternoon when the hospital spokeswoman confirmed her listed status.
The case remained under investigation as of Thursday, according to the CHP.
As a reporter for the Pinnacle for many years, Woods was known for her coverage of local government and a weekly column called "Report from the Badlands."
