On December 10, 2024, at approximately 12:19 p.m., Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) officers responded to a report of a vehicle collision with injuries on Stevens Creek Blvd and Tyler Street. When first responders arrived, they located a male subject who was believed to be the driver of an SUV, on the ground. They also located a female in the passenger seat of the SUV. The other involved vehicle was a pickup truck with two male occupants.
Santa Clara Fire Department (SCFD) personnel provided first aid and performed life-saving measures on the male and female of the SUV. Both were transported to a local hospital, but tragically the male succumbed to his injuries and passed away. The female is being treated for life-threatening injuries. The driver of the pickup was uninjured and remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. The passenger of the pickup was transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Based on the preliminary investigation, it appears the driver of the pickup was traveling west on westbound Stevens Creek Blvd. approaching Tyler St. at a high rate of speed. The pickup collided with the SUV (occupied by the male and female) which was making a left turn from eastbound Stevens Creek Blvd into a driveway. Drugs and/or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision.
The deceased male subject was identified as a 66-year-old resident of San Jose. His identity will be released by the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office. The female passenger is a 65-year-old resident of San Jose. The male driver of the pickup is a 20-year-old and his passenger is a 19-year-old, both are from San Jose.
Witnesses to the collision are asked to contact Traffic Investigator Scott Wilson at 408-615-4764.
