Early Tuesday morning police in San Jose cleared wreckage from the city's latest accident to claim another life.
"This street is cursed. So if ya’all out here on San Tomas and Payne drive safe. Because anything can happen at any moment," said resident Jonathan Alonzo.southbound on San Tomas Expressway hit the curb, then median before crashing to the ground at the intersection of Payne Avenue. She died a short-time later at an area hospital.
Also killed in an unrelated incident was Travis Repman, who died days after being hit in a crosswalk.Reflecting on the recent incidents where there’s been a loss of life, San Jose Transportation Department spokesman Colin Haney said, "We see this as unprecedented and tragic…Speed and speeding is the number one identifiable factor behind these collisions."
While speed is one factor, distracted drivers, and the overall design of the roadway are areas for change. San Jose police said enforcement also plays a role, although that effort has been hurt by staffing shortages, and the impacts from a global pandemic.
