No residents were injured after the car crashed into the second story of a home off McKee Road, police say.
SAN JOSE — A driver was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and manslaughter over the weekend after she reportedly crashed into the second-story of an East San Jose home, killing her passenger, police said.
Miraculously, no one living inside the home was injured when the Subaru sedan barreled into the house in the early hours of Saturday morning. The crash was reported at 2:26 a.m. and San Jose police said an initial investigation determined that a woman was driving a red 2022 Subaru west on McKee Road “at a high rate of speed” when she lost control of the car near Francis Drive.
That caused the vehicle to go over the center median and cut across all of the oncoming lanes and hit the southern curb of McKee Road. The car then broke through a fence and went into a back yard where it hit a two-story house on Sorgepark Place, authorities said. Soon after, the residents inside were evacuated.Crime and Public Safety |The passenger in the car, described only as a 23-year-old man on Monday, died at the scene.
The driver suffered what police described as injuries that were not life threatening, and she was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. Her name was not released by police in a Monday news release detailing the fatal collision.
