A pedestrian died after running across lanes of southbound Highway 101 in San Jose and being hit by two vehicles early Friday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred around 5:15 a.m. on southbound Highway 101 north of McKee Road. A male pedestrian ran from the right-hand shoulder across lanes of the highway into the path of a Chevrolet Silverado, CHP spokesperson Officer Ross Lee said.
The Chevy driver turned to try to avoid the collision but the right side of the vehicle side-swiped the pedestrian. A second vehicle then also hit him and he died at the scene. The Chevy driver, a 46-year-old Union City man, stopped at the scene and was not injured, while the second vehicle involved in the collision has not been found, Lee said.
The collision shut down the two right lanes of southbound Highway 101 and the McKee Road off-ramp for several hours. The lanes and ramp reopened as of about 1:40 p.m., according to the CHP.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the CHP's San Jose-area office at (408) 961-0900.
