The solo-vehicle collision happened around 9:50 a.m. near the intersection of Snell Avenue and Truckee Lane, San Jose Police Department spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release.
A preliminary investigation revealed the man was driving a 1989 Ford Mustang southbound on Snell Avenue when he left the roadway and hit a tree, according to Shih.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office will release his identity after it is confirmed and his next of kin is identified.
There were no signs another driver or pedestrian was involved in the crash, Shih said.
The death marked the 47th traffic fatality of the year on city streets. At this time last year, San Jose had recorded the same number of roadway deaths.
