SAN JOSE » A bicyclist was killed in a collision with a car Thursday night in San Jose, police said.

O cers responded to a crash around 8:26 p.m. at

PALO ALTO

Almaden Expressway and Foxworthy Avenue, according to a San Jose Police Department news release. A 2013 BMW sedan traveling south on Almaden Expressway in one of the middle lanes struck a man riding a bicycle westbound across the intersection in the crosswalk.

The bicyclist was taken to a hospital, where he died, according to authorities.

The driver of the BMW stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, they said. Video evidence and wit - ness statements indicate the driver had a green light at the intersection, police said, and they don’t believe drugs or alcohol was a factor. The death marked the city’s 13th roadway fatality of the year. The Santa Clara County Medical Ex- aminer-Coroner’s Office will identify the man once his identity is confirmed and his next of kin is notified.

Two pedestrians were killed last month near the same intersection when they were struck by a car on Almaden Expressway.
