On November 2, the San Jose Police Department (SJPD) arrested two juvenile suspects for their alleged involvement in a fatal hit-and-run accident.

The accident led to the death of a pregnant woman, and her unborn child is in critical condition according to SJPD. This incident marks the 42nd fatal collision and 43rd traffic death of the year in San Jose.

Hoodline reports that on the date of the crime, the pregnant victim was in a 2008 black Nissan sedan when it collided with a suspected stolen white Hyundai sedan. Following the collision, the suspects allegedly left the Hyundai and escaped on foot.

Community members presented overwhelming support to help local law enforcement catch the suspects. The quick arrest of the accused individuals demonstrates how community cooperation can play a crucial role in ensuring justice for victims.

Both the police force and the community are part of a synchronous effort to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
