Two people were severely injured when their car crashed into pedestrian barriers outside two nightclubs in downtown San Jose on Thursday night, August 28, 2025.
San Jose police responded to the crash at 11:00 p.m. at the intersection of Post Street. A white Lexus first struck barriers outside Splash San Jose at 65 Post Street before heading toward Mac’s Club at 39 Post Street, where it came to a stop. The crash occurred just ahead of the city’s Pride celebrations, which were set to begin the following day.
Witnesses reported that the driver had been denied entry into Splash San Jose due to his intoxication. After speaking with staff, he returned to his vehicle and drove through the barriers.
Footage from the scene showed the passenger lying in the street while the driver remained seated in the car. Both the driver and the passenger were transported to the hospital with severe injuries.
San Jose police stated that both individuals were heavily intoxicated but confirmed there is no evidence to suggest the crash was intentional. The incident is being investigated as a DUI-related collision.
No one else at the scene was injured, and authorities continue to investigate.
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.
