The death marked the 56th traffic death of the year on city streets.
SAN JOSE – An elderly man who was hit by a driver while riding a motorized mobility scooter two months ago in San Jose has died of his injuries, according to police.
The traffic collision was reported just before 7 p.m. on Aug. 23 at Lundy Avenue and Sierra Road. In a statement Monday, the San Jose Police Department said the man was riding northbound in a bicycle lane on Lundy when he was hit by the driver of a 2007 Toyota Corolla turning right onto Lundy from eastbound Sierra Road.
The man suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, where he was initially stabilized. He died of his injuries on Sept. 24, but the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office did not notify traffic investigators of the death until Oct. 14, according to police. The death marked the 54th fatal collision and the 56th traffic death of the year on city streets. The coroner’s office will release the man’s identity once it has been confirmed and his next of kin has been notified.
Police said the driver of the Toyota remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Alcohol and drugs are not suspected as factors in the crash.
