A pedestrian died after being hit by a vehicle in San Jose on Sunday night, August 3, 2025.
According to the San Jose Police Department, the incident occurred just before 11:00 p.m. near the intersection of Payne Avenue and Winchester Boulevard.
Investigators determined that a black 2018 Chevy truck was traveling westbound on Payne Avenue when it struck an adult male pedestrian who was crossing the street.
The truck was occupied by an adult male driver and an adult male passenger. Both remained at the scene and cooperated with the police investigation.
The pedestrian was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Authorities have not yet released his identity, pending confirmation and notification of next of kin by the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office.
Officials noted the pedestrian was not in a marked crosswalk at the time of the crash, though California law permits crossing at intersections with or without marked crosswalks.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
