San Jose police tweeted that they received a call at around 12:45 p.m. about two vehicles that collided at the intersection of Tully Road and Senter Road in East San Jose, causing injuries to the vehicle occupants.
Police said three people were taken to local hospitals for treatment. One of the drivers involved suffered from life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said deputies had earlier responded to a trespassing call at the county fairgrounds about a half mile west on Tully Road. The suspect fled before deputies arrived but then collided with another vehicle at Tully and Senter roads, the sheriff's office said.
One of the drivers suffered life-threatening injuries. The sheriff's office, San Jose police, and the California Highway Patrol were each involved in the investigation.
San Jose police and the CHP did not provide any additional details regarding the incident. The intersection was closed while police conducted the investigation.
The crash comes after an earlier accident where a young boy was fatally injured and a woman hurt Friday morning after being struck by a vehicle while walking in a crosswalk near Castlemont Elementary School.
San Jose police tweeted that officers responded to a call reporting the injury collision at 8:03 a.m. as schoolchildren were walking in the neighborhood on their way to school which is on the border between San Jose and Campbell.
The unidentified boy, whose age was not released, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but succumbed to those injuries less than two hours later.
