A motorcyclist died in a collision with a motorist in South San Jose on Sunday morning, police said.<\/p>\n

The deadly crash was reported at 11:48 a.m. near Almaden and McKean roads, according to the San Jose Police Department<\/a>. An initial investigation determined that a man was riding a black 2009 Yamaha FZ6R motorcycle west on McKean through the intersection at Almaden and hit a northbound gray 2025 Toyota RAV4.<\/p>\n

Police said the rider was rushed to a hospital and was pronounced dead. He has been identified by the Santa Clara County Office of the Medical Examiner as 21-year-old Harrison David Golding.\n<\/p>\n

The Toyota driver stopped at the scene, police said. There was no immediate indication that the motorist was arrested or cited, and police said in a Monday news release that drugs or alcohol did not factor in the crash. The intersection has stop signs on McKean Road, but not for through traffic on Almaden Road.<\/p>\n

The crash marked the city\u2019s 38th traffic death of the year and the fourth to involve a motorcyclist who died, according to data compiled by this news organization. San Jose had recorded 27 roadway deaths at the same point in 2025.<\/p>\n
