Pedestrian Critically Injured in Story Road Collision [San Jose, CA]

San Jose, CA (April 12, 2024) – A pedestrian sustained critical injuries following a Story Road collision early Thursday morning.

It was about 5:20 a.m. when the pedestrian was hit by a vehicle on Roberts Avenue in Little Saigon.

Immediately, the rescuers rushed the victim to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Troopers closed eastbound Story Road from Roberts Avenue to Lucretia Avenue and advised motorists to use alternate routes.

Always check your vehicle before you leave.

Start by inspecting your vehicle’s headlights and turn signals. Ensure the front and rear headlamps are working properly and visible from a few yards away.  

Read your tire pressure to maintain the recommended pressure. In addition, check underneath your vehicle for leaks and loose objects.

You should always stay focused while on the road. Remove all distractions that could cause accidents, such as mobile phone use and unrestrained toddlers.

Story Road Collision Injures Pedestrian

Despite their scrupulous creation and mapping for efficient travel, highways are among the most dangerous places on earth. Consequently, everyone must remain calm to handle the situation effectively after a collision.

In fact, on the AAA Foundation website, Chief Executive Officer Peter Kissinger repeatedly labeled the epidemic of motor vehicle-related accidents a “public health crisis.”

 The following are things we should remember if we are involved in an accident:

• Before anything else, seek medical attention if you or someone with you has been hurt.

• Collect as much information as possible, including insurance and contact information for people involved in the accident and pictures/videos of vehicles involved. Also, do not forget to document faults and whatever can be used as evidence.
