According to officials, a football player for San Jose State University who was riding a scooter in San Jose on Friday morning was killed after his vehicle collided with a school bus that was carrying children.
According to the police, Camdan McWright, 18, was riding an electric scooter when he crashed into the school bus on Friday morning just before 7 a.m. at the intersection of South 10th and Reed streets.
Ross Lee, a public information officer for the California Highway Patrol, stated that the San Jose Unified School District bus, which had 14 students between the ages of 14 and 17 on board, was travelling east on Reed Street when the college freshman rode his electric scooter into the eastern crosswalk of the intersection in front of the bus. The incident resulted in the student being struck and killed by the bus. According to him, the bus driver, who had the right of way and the green light, was unable to come to a stop in time.
According to what he said, the bus driver stopped the vehicle and has been cooperative with the CHP investigators. The students were transferred to yet another bus and then driven to their respective schools.
“This morning, a tragic accident took the life of a remarkable young man. “Everyone in this community that had the opportunity to spend time with Camdan knew that he had a bright future ahead of him,” San Jose State football coach Brent Brennan said in a statement. “Camdan had a bright future ahead of him and everyone in this community knew that.”
