SAN JOSEExactly two months after he was struck by a car not far from downtown San Jose, a pedestrian died from his injuries, according to the San Jose Police Department.
A driver of a 2020 Dodge truck collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle while traveling westbound in the 400 block of Auzerais Avenue about 4:19 p.m. July 30, authorities said at the time. The crash pushed the parked vehicle into the pedestrian and a tree, according to police.
The victim was taken to a hospital with significant injuries before he was transported to a recovery center, authorities said. He died there on Sept. 30; authorities did not release his name Thursday.
The driver, an adult male, fled the scene and was still at large as of this week, police said. Authorities did not release a detailed description of either the driver or the vehicle.
The death marks the city’s 53rd traffic fatality in 2022, and the 27th involving a pedestrian. There have been 51 deadly collisions in total.
