Fatal Pedestrian Accident Near San Jose School

san jose pedestrian accident

SAN JOSE, CA (April 1, 2024) — A tragic incident occurred Sunday night near The Harker School in San Jose, resulting in the death of a pedestrian after being struck by a vehicle. 

The San Jose Police Department reported that the accident took place around 7:39 p.m. on the 500 block of Saratoga Avenue, leading to major injuries for the pedestrian who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The specifics of the San Jose pedestrian accident, including its exact location in relation to The Harker School, a coeducational private K-12 institution, remain unclear. Following the accident, Saratoga Avenue was shut down in both directions between Kiely Boulevard and Moorpark Avenue to facilitate emergency responses and investigations. 

By 10 p.m., the southbound lanes were reopened, but the northbound lanes were expected to remain closed for an extended period.

As of now, the identity of the victim and details about the driver involved have not been disclosed by the SJPD. The community awaits further information, and The Harker School has yet to make a public statement regarding the incident.

This somber event is a reminder of the importance of road safety and vigilance, especially in areas close to educational institutions. As investigations continue, those affected by similar circumstances are encouraged to seek legal support.
