1 Killed and 4 Injured in Multi-Vehicle Collision near South 10th Street

 
SAN JOSE, CA (October 28, 2018) – A man was killed early Sunday morning following a multi-vehicle crash near South 10th Street. The victim was later identified as 23-year-old Rudy Estorga Jr, a resident of San Jose.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident took place at about 4:00 AM. A black Mitsubishi, driven by the victim, was heading north on Highway 280 when it slammed into a steel bridge railing on the right side of the roadway.
 
The disabled vehicle was hit by a red Toyota, which was then struck by a red Nissan. After the collision, Estorga exited his vehicle and was seen laying or kneeling in the road. That was when he was struck and dragged by a fourth vehicle.
 
The Mitsubishi driver suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders. A 39-year-old man was hospitalized with major injuries, while three others received treatment for minor injuries. Updates on their current medical conditions were not available.
