Traffic-related deaths have hit record numbers over the last few years in San Jose. The city and homeless advocates say they're doing all they can turn this devastating trend around.
Two people lost their lives Monday, as they were trying to cross the street. San Jose Police posted this tweet after an unidentified man believed to be homeless was hit and killed Monday night near Monterey Hwy and Blossom Hill.
Last year, there were 65 traffic-related fatalities in San Jose, including 33 pedestrians. The City of San Jose released this statement Tuesday, saying in part: Cartwright says because many of the pedestrian fatalities involve unhoused people, advocates have stepped in to provide people with a flashing headband to help them stay visible.
Cartwright says often times unhoused people are up at night to keep themselves safe and warm. She says people living in East and Central San Jose, including those living on the streets, have been impacted the most.
