Motorcyclist Killed On Hillsdale Avenue Tuesday Morning

SAN JOSE - A motorcyclist was killed when the cycle he was driving collided with a car in south central San Jose Tuesday morning, a police spokesman said.

According to San Jose PD Officer Albert Morales , police responded to a report of a collision in the area of Hillsdale Avenue and Kirk Road at about 8:15 a.m.

Arriving officers found a Jeep and a motorcycle that were both damaged. They also found a man who was apparently on the motorcycle and had suffered serious injuries.

Emergency crews transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to Morales.

The Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office will not release the man’s name until his next of kin has been notified.

The Jeep driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision, according to police.

The death is the second fatal traffic collision of the year on San Jose city streets, Morales said.
