A pedestrian who was seriously injured by a vehicle in San Jose this summer has succumbed to his injuries and died, police said.
On July 25 at about 10:30 p.m., officers were sent to in the area of Blossom Hill Road and Snell Avenue on a report of a collision.
Investigators learned that a 2019 red Dodge Charger was being driven by a man who was traveling southbound on Snell Avenue and making a left turn onto Blossom Hill Road when it struck a man who was crossing the street outside of a marked crosswalk.
