Santa Clara police are looking for anyone who may have witnessed a traffic collision near the intersection of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Tyler Street around 12:19 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
At least one person was killed and another suffered life-threatening injuries when a pickup truck and SUV collided.
Emergency responders from the Santa Clara Fire Department (SCFD) said a 66-year-old man, most likely the driver of the SUV, was lying on the ground when they arrived. They administered first aid, and the man was transported to a local hospital, where he died.
A 65-year-old woman was in the passenger seat of the SUV. She was also treated for life-threatening injuries, but so far, there is no update on her condition.
The driver of the pickup truck, a 20-year-old man, was not injured. His passenger, a 19-year-old man, was injured and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the driver of the pickup truck stayed to speak to officers. They do not believe that drugs or alcohol played a part in this collision.
SCPD believes the pickup truck was traveling west on Stevens Creek Boulevard, just past the Lexus dealership and approaching Tyler Street, at a “high rate of speed.”
The SUV was traveling east on Stevens Creek Boulevard and making a left turn from the eastbound direction into a driveway.
That’s when the two vehicles collided.
All four people involved in the crash are residents of San Jose.
Police say if you witnessed this collision, please contact SCPD traffic investigator Scott Wilson at (408) 615-4764.
