UPDATE: Roadway is re-opened after fatal collision on Moffett/Hwy 237/85; witnesses sought
On Thursday, May 28, 2015 at around 11:30AM we received reports of a traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a vehicle on Moffett Blvd. just south of the Highway 85 overpass. The motorcycle rider, identified as a 25 year-old Gilroy man, was transported to a local hospital where he died due to injuries sustained from the collision.
The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and was cooperative with investigating officers.The cause of the collision remains under investigation, however, it does not appear either drugs or alcohol were a factor. Both lanes of southbound Moffett Blvd. remain closed at this time as officers complete their investigation.
