A man riding a bicycle was killed early Friday, September 4, 2026, in a collision at Trimble Road and North First Street in North San Jose. San Jose police were called to the intersection at about 4:20 a.m. and found an adult man unconscious and not breathing in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities have not publicly released his name. The San Jose Police Department is handling the investigation, which remains open.
According to NBC Bay Area, a preliminary investigation found that a man driving a gray 2024 Toyota Corolla was heading west on Trimble Road with a green light when he allegedly struck the bicyclist, who was traveling north on North First Street in the crosswalk. Police told the outlet that the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, and that drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been factors. NBC Bay Area reported that the death is San Jose’s 33rd fatal collision and 33rd traffic-related death of 2026. Hoodline reported that several streets around the intersection were closed while investigators documented the scene, and that this was the second fatal bicycle collision in the city in about 24 hours.
