On Saturday, investigators tracked down the suspect vehicle at a home near the crash site. Mai subsequently was contacted and arrested, police said.

Video from the crash scene showed an empty wheelchair in the street, and police said the victim was pushing the empty chair when she was hit.

Reports that a second vehicle, a U-Haul panel van, hit the woman were unfounded, police said.

The case was the third pedestrian death and fifth traffic fatality on San Jose city streets in 2023, according to police.
