San Jose police seek public’s help in identifying driver from fatal June hit-and-run
SAN JOSE — Police on Tuesday asked for the public’s help in identifying the driver from a June hit-and-run collision that left a bicyclist dead in South San Jose.
In a news release, police said that just two minutes before midnight on June 3, a dark-colored sedan struck a woman who was riding a bicycle across Monterey Road near Curtner Avenue. The unknown driver of the sedan fled the scene.
In a graphic video posted to the San Jose Police Department’s YouTube channel, the blurred-out bicycle is seen slowly crossing Monterey Road near what appears to be a railroad crossing while a first car passes by seconds before the suspect video plows into the woman at full speed.
The woman died from her injuries on July 8. It became San Jose’s 26th traffic-related death on city streets in 2023.
An official with the Santa Clara County Office of the Medical Examiner-Coroner sied they could not find the case in their system Tuesday morning.
