In San Jose, police are currently looking for a driver who hit a male pedestrian near Santa Row. Then, he fled the scene on Tuesday morning. He left the man lying in the street with serious injuries, fleeing the scene in his vehicle without so much as a second thought.

According to San Jose police, the pedestrian was a 60-year-old man. After the accident, emergency responders took him to a hospital with serious injuries. As of now, the man is doing alright, but isn’t exactly in good condition. Of course, we’re very thankful that the man remains alive, as this incident could have been deadly. However, that doesn’t mean that we don’t believe that the man responsible for this act should face justice.

How did the driver hit the pedestrian?

As San Jose police Sgt. Enrique Garcia, who delivers newspapers for the Bay Area News group told was crossing Moorpark near S. Monroe Street when he was crushed by a dark-colored Toyota Camry. Then the driver of the Camry continued on east Moorpark, seemingly unaffected by the crash. Moorpark was closed for several hours between Monroe Street and S. Clover Avenue due to the incident. Eventually, the police were able to reopen these major thoroughfares, but not after they conducted a thorough investigation.

Anyone who has any information about the incident is asked to contact Police Department’s Traffic Investigations Unit of San Jose at 408-277-4654. Those who want their names not to be known can call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 408-947-STOP (7867). Those who will provide information which will lead to conviction and arrest of the suspect may be worthy for a cash reward from the Silicon Valley Crime Supporters. After all, we don’t want this person to run around the city without facing the consequences of his actions. It’s in all of our best interest to help the police catch him.
