San Jose, CA (July 14, 2021) – A pedestrian died after being struck by a motorist in East San Jose early on Wednesday morning, July 14, authorities said.
The fatal accident was reported around 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of eastbound McKee Road with Jose Figueres Avenue, close to Regional Medical Center. According to a report released by San Jose police, the victim, described only as an elderly male, was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. He was later pronounced dead.
The victim's name has not been publicly released but officials with the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office are working to complete next-of-kin notifications.
An initial investigation revealed that the driver of a 2020 Subaru sedan hit the man as he was navigating the crosswalk. The man driving the Subaru stopped, and police said he cooperated with their investigation.
The investigation is ongoing, however, and police asked anyone with information to contact the SJPD traffic investigations unit.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim.
In the span of just one recent year, more than 30,000 traffic crashes resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways. Tragically, hundreds of lives are lost each year on major thoroughfares and highways throughout the bustling city centers in Northern California. From San Jose and Oakland to Fremont and beyond, fatal pedestrian accidents are one of the most common contributors to vehicle fatalities that occur in the Bay Area.
Serious pedestrian accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are all too common in California, especially in these busy cities comprising the Bay Area.
