San Jose: Driver arrested in fatal hit-and-run crash that killed pedestrian
SAN JOSE — A driver has been arrested in connection withThe fatal collision was reported at 5:39 a.m. Friday on Morrill Avenue near Knights Bridge Road, just north of Hostetter Road, according to San Jose police.
Responding police officers found a gravely injured woman at the site and rushed her to a local hospital, where she died a short time later, police said. Her name has not been publicly released pending her formal identification and notification of her next of kin. An ensuing investigation, drawing on home-security footage from nearby homes, determined that the driver of a dark-colored sedan was southbound on Morrill Avenue when she hit the victim who was crossing the roadway, then drove away.
Police noted that the pedestrian was outside a marked crosswalk, but under California law, unmarked crosswalks exist where roads meet at right angles — which is the case at Knights Bridge Road — and a recent law change permits pedestrians cross the street outside of intersections when it is safe to do so.
On Saturday, again citing the surveillance images from the site, police said a patrol search of nearby residential streets located the sedan they believe was involved in the fatal collision.
