San Jose, CA – Woman Killed in Fatal Pedestrian Accident at Interstate 680

San Jose, CA (February 11, 2019) – On Sunday morning, police responded to a fatal pedestrian accident that took the life of one woman at the intersection of Interstate 680 and Highway 101. The California Highway Patrol responded to the accident around 6:45 a.m.

At the time, the woman had been traveling with her husband in their shared pickup truck when they started to get onto the ramp to the northbound lanes of Interstate 680 Freeway. The man lost control of his truck, which caused it to crash into the side of a concrete wall. The pickup truck was disabled following the accident.

Reportedly, the woman exited the pickup truck and started to walk down the ramp so that she could get ahold of somebody. A passing white Toyota struck her. They remained at the scene until police arrived so that they could cooperate with the investigation.

The woman tragically passed away due to her injuries at the scene.

Police are still working on determining liability at this time.

We understand how difficult it can be to deal with the aftermath of a fatal pedestrian accident and would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of the woman who lost her life in this accident.
