San Jose, CA - Man Killed in Fatal Pedestrian Accident on Hwy 101 at I-880

San Jose, CA (February 7, 2021) – A 62-year-old man walking along Highway 101 was struck and killed by a pickup truck traveling southbound on the highway late Friday evening, said troopers with the California Highway Patrol.

Officers say the man was traveling across US-101, located just south of Interstate 880, around 10:52 p.m. At that time, he was struck by a Ford pickup whose driver was unable to stop to avoid the man. Local EMTs attempted life-saving measures, but the pedestrian was declared dead at the scene from the serious injuries he sustained in the crash. The driver and a passenger traveling in the pickup truck were uninjured.

The crash required the closure of multiple lanes of 101 for about two hours and is under investigation by CHP.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim.
