SAN JOSE (CBS SF/BCN) -- A bicyclist was struck and killed Thursday night in the intersection of Almaden Expressway and Foxworthy Ave., the victim of San Jose's 12th fatal traffic accident so far this year.
San Jose police said officers responded Thursday at 8:26 p.m. to the busy intersection on a report of a vehicle collision involving a bicyclist.
Investigators have determined that a 2013 BMW sedan occupied by an adult male driver and an adult female passenger was traveling southbound on Almaden Expressway in the No.2 lane approaching the intersection with Foxworthy Ave.
Based on video evidence and witness statements, the BMW had a green light at the intersection, but struck the bicyclist who was riding westbound across the intersection in the marked crosswalk.
The bicyclist was transported to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. Shortly after arriving, he succumbed to his injuries.
The driver of the BMW remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. There were no indications of drug or alcohol influence.
This was the 12th fatal collision, and 13th victim of 2022. The man's identity has not been released as the Santa Clara County coroner's office notified his next of kin.
Anyone with information on this investigation is urged to contact Detective O'brien #3527 of the San José Police Department's Traffic Investigations Unit at 408-277-4654.
