San Jose police have not said whether the pedestrian was crossing in a marked crosswalk or what factors may have contributed to the crash. The investigation remains ongoing, and officials could release more information as they review evidence and speak with witnesses.
The collision comes as San José continues its Vision Zero push to reduce severe and fatal traffic crashes. The City of San José says its goals include reducing deaths and severe injuries by 30% by 2030 and eliminating fatal and severe-injury crashes by 2040; the city also has a Tully Road safety project planned between Monterey Road and Swift Lane.
