A San Jose man who was riding an electric scooter on Highway 87 was killed in a collision Friday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Around 2:54 a.m., CHP officers responded to a call of a crash involving a motorist and a pedestrian just south of Taylor Street. The pedestrian, a 23-year-old from San Jose, was actually riding a Lime brand scooter, authorities said; he was northbound on the freeway before he was hit by a 2021 Tesla, which was also traveling north.
The scooter rider was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released pending confirmation of his identity and notification of his next of kin.
The driver of the Tesla, a 24-year-old man from Elk Grove, did not report any injuries and was not arrested after the crash.
