Another fatal pedestrian crash happened later that day in San Jose around South King Road and Aldrich Way. Separately, on the 57 Freeway near State Route 71 in San Dimas, a man walking slowly in the slow lane was fatally struck by vehicles near the center divider; the incident caused temporary freeway closures and remains under investigation.
