In the early hours of Monday, tragedy struck again as San Jose recorded another traffic fatality.
The crash occurred around 4:20 a.m. on the dimly lit and mostly deserted intersection of Camden Avenue and Branham Lane, near Highway 85, according to police. The victim, identified as an elderly man, was riding a motorized scooter and attempting to cross Camden Avenue when a Chevy Trailblazer driven by a woman collided with him. The driver had the green light as she passed through the intersection.
Addressing concerns about the lack of a fourth crosswalk, the city's transportation department explained that the design standard from the 1970s called for only one signalized crosswalk. Adding another crosswalk would require increasing the cycle length of the traffic lights, leading to delays.
