Driver Of Distinct 1990s Car Sought In Fatal San Jose Hit-And-Run
SAN JOSE (CBS SF) – Police in San Jose are searching for the driver of a distinct 1990s coupe following a fatal hit-and-run crash early Friday morning.
According to witnesses, a red Honda Del Sol was speeding on northbound Winchester Boulevard near Hamilton Avenue around midnight. The car struck a man riding a bicycle heading in the same direction.
Witnesses said the bicycle broke in two from the impact of the crash. The bicyclist died at the scene, while the driver took off.
"The Honda Del Sol, which was made for a very short time, almost 20 years ago. So we're hoping that narrows down the focus," Sgt. John Carr of the San Jose Police Department said.
According to Bay City News Service, the vehicle was abandoned in a parking lot near Winchester and Magliocco Drive, about a mile from the crash. Authorities are trying to identify and locate the suspect.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the San Jose Police.
