San Jose: Pedestrian killed in early morning collision

SAN JOSE — A man was killed in a vehicle collision early Monday morning while crossing an East San Jose street, police said.

At about 12:56 a.m., police responded to calls of a crash at Quimby Road and South White Road. A man had been walking across Quimby when he was struck by an eastbound 2014 Chevy Camaro, said public information officer Enrique Garcia.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity will be released pending his formal identification and notification of next of kin by the coroner’s office.

The Camaro driver remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation, Garcia said. Drugs or alcohol did not appear to be factors in the crash.

Monday’s death was the 52nd traffic fatality in San Jose so far this year, and came just hours after a collision on Almaden Expressway that left another pedestrian dead.

The victim’s death also marked at least the fifth pedestrian fatality so far in November.
