Woman Dies After Being Hit By Car In San Jose Parking Lot On Christmas Eve

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) -- A late afternoon crash killed a woman on Christmas Eve.

On Sunday afternoon, officers responded to a report of a crash at Curtner and Canoas Gardens avenues.

There, officers found a woman in a parking lot, acting erratically and lying in the roadway. The victim was taken to a hospital where she died a short time later, according to police.

Officers determined a man driving a white 2015 Toyota Scion entered the parking lot and struck the woman as he drove around a median. The driver stopped and cooperated with the investigation, police said.
