One person was killed and two others were injured Thursday night after a vehicle crashed into a building in downtown San Jose in what investigators are calling a hit and run, according to a police.
At about 10:30 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of East Santa Clara and 10th streets on reports of a crash involving a Nissan sedan into a building, police said. The driver of a second vehicle, a black 2005 BMW, ran a red light and struck the Nissan, pushing it into a storefront on Santa Clara Street.
The BMW also collided with a black Acura SUV stopped at the intersection, police said. The driver of the BMW then fled on foot.
A man who was riding in the Nissan was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver and another passenger were taken to a hospital, one with life-threatening injuries, police said.
