SAN JOSE, CA (May 8, 2019) – A man perished in a DUI street racing crash Sunday night on Santa Teresa Boulevard near Lean Avenue.
 
David Mandujano was a passenger in a high-speeding 2002 Pontiac Trans Am traveling eastbound on Santa Teresa Boulevard.
 
Around 9:55 p.m., the unidentified Pontiac driver lost control and crashed into a tree at the center median.
 
Witnesses say the Pontiac was street racing with a black Chevy Camaro. According to their testimonies, the man exited the Camaro and peered through the window of the Trans Am, appearing upset and in tears.
 
The police subsequently arrived and the driver re-entered his car and left the scene.
 
Twenty-four-year-old Mandujano, a criminal justice graduate, died at the scene. Paramedics transported the driver to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
