An early morning accident claimed the life of a pedestrian
on Friday November 8, 2013. The tragic accident
occurred at approximately 5:00 a.m. on or near the connector ramp from northbound
Highway 280 to southbound Highway 87 in San Jose, California. The accident shut down the ramp for several
hours and slowed traffic throughout the South Bay.
Preliminary reports indicated that an unidentified 26-year-old
man was struck by a Toyota Corolla and was also possibly struck by other vehicles. Investigators have not yet
released any additional details regarding the mechanics of the accident or the
identities of those involved.

the accident by emergency responders. At
