Two people died Thursday evening in San Jose after being struck by a hit-and-run driver, police said.
The San Jose Police Department said the deaths were reported at 6:26 p.m. in the area of Ocala Avenue and Oakton Court. This is right in front of the middle school Ocala Steam Academy.
In an update Friday morning, San Jose police said their preliminary investigation revealed the vehicle that hit the women was a newer red pick-up truck that took off northbound on Capitol Expressway. "I stood up to see what was going on, and I saw bodies on the floor just laying there, and they were performing CPR," said Beltran."At 1 or 2 in the morning, Capitol Expressway, you hear the cars racing. You’ll hear donuts right here at the corner and cars speeding straight down. And it’s crazy because there’s a school," said Beltran. "We need a traffic light right here, it’s ridiculous.
