SAN JOSE — The man killed last week after crashing into several vehicles on Interstate 280 has been identified by authorities.
The crash was reported at about 11:17 p.m. Thursday in the area of I-280 near Saratoga Avenue, with multiple lanes being blocked, said California Highway Patrol Officer Ross Lee. Authorities arrived at the scene at 11:23 p.m. and shut down all lanes.
Santa Clara resident Scott St. Amand, 62, was driving in a red Honda and made an “unsafe” turn from northbound I-280 onto the Saratoga Avenue off-ramp, police said. St. Amand collided with the left rear of a Tesla, which ended up in the east shoulder of the off-ramp. St. Amand then “traveled out of control,” overturning onto one of the middle lanes of I-280, police said.
St. Amand’s vehicle was then hit by a black Prius, silver Hyundai and a silver Nissan, according to CHP. He was pronounced dead by emergency personnel at 11:31 p.m. No other people were transported. Authorities said they don’t know if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.
