The events that led to the collision began with a black 2017 Nissan Rogue driven by an unnamed driver traveling south on White. The driver was attempting to turn left on Gion when a green 2002 Volkswagen Passat driven by Heredia struck the Nissan.
The impact of the collision caused the Volkswagen to overturn and collide with several cars parked on the roadway. Heredia sustained severe traumatic wounds, and medics with the first responders pronounced him dead.
The unnamed driver stayed at the scene while the authorities carried out their preliminary investigations, and cooperated with them. The driver was not cited, and the police have not stated if he shares any liability in the accident.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing. The San Jose Police Department has asked witnesses to the accident to come forward and contact them at the station.
Those involved in this kind of accident should hire a car accident attorney for legal advice and representation.
