Niraj Sharma, a physician who lives in Boston, emailed Los Gatos Patch this week inquiring about the woman's condition after he rushed out to help her just minutes after the crash.
Sharma said he was driving with a friend on Saratoga-Los Gatos Road, also called Highway 9, when they arrived on the scene "less than a minute" after it occurred and he assisted the woman.
Sharma said he didn't see the accident but "the image of her has remained with me," he said.
Sharma returned to Boston on Monday and saw Los Gatos Patch's first story about the accident and wondered about the woman's condition.
