Hit-and-run in North San Jose sends cyclist to hospital
SAN JOSE – A woman riding a bicycle has been hospitalized after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in San Jose Monday night.
Around 9:30 p.m., the San Jose Police Department announced they were on the scene of the collision, which took place in the area of North 1st Street and Interstate 880.
The woman was taken to the hospital with injuries initially deemed life threatening. Police said later in the evening that her injuries were no longer life-threatening and that had been stabilized.
Police did not give a description of the suspect vehicle. Additional details about what led up to the collision were not immediately available.
