STATE : Julio Gallo’s Condition Stable After Crash That Killed Woman
Julio Gallo, co-owner of the world’s largest winery, was reported in stable condition this morning after being injured in a car crash that killed a woman.
Earlier reports said Gallo, 79, suffered serious head injuries. His condition was upgraded overnight from guarded to stable, said San Jose Medical Center shift director Carolyn Ingraham.
Gallo’s wife, Eileen, 74, also was in stable condition, Ingraham said.
California Highway Patrol Officer Tom Melden said Eileen Gallo was driving when the couple’s luxury sedan veered across the center line Tuesday afternoon and struck a compact car on a windy, mountain road.
Sharon Kauk, 27, of San Jose was killed. Her 27-year-old husband and their 6-month-old son were listed in stable condition at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
