SAN JOSE \u2014 A pedestrian died Wednesday from injuries he suffered the previous week in San Jose when he was hit by a driver, police said.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at 10:12 a.m. on Aug. 13 near the intersection of Blossom Hill Road and Thornwood Drive, San Jose police Officer Tanya Hernandez said in a news release.<\/p>\n

An initial investigation revealed the pedestrian was crossing Blossom Hill Road just west of Thornwood Drive when he was struck by a man driving a 2005 Acura SUV eastbound, Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

The pedestrian, identified as a man, was taken to an area hospital, where he later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner\u2019s Office will release his identity after it is confirmed and his next of kin is notified.<\/p>\n

The driver stopped at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

The incident marked the city\u2019s 15th pedestrian death and 29th overall traffic fatality of 2026. At this point last year, police had investigated 21 traffic fatalities on city streets.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information related to the case can contact Detective Tori DelliCarpini at 4103@sanjoseca.gov<\/a> or 408-277-4654.<\/p>\n
