SAN JOSE — A motorcyclist killed in a crash with a semi-truck last week was trying to pass the rig when the collision unfolded on a North San Jose roadway, according to police.
Around 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 29, the victim was riding a 2020 Honda motorcycle northbound on Old Bayshore Highway west of Oakland Road when he tried to pass a 2015 Peterbilt truck also traveling north — and hit the truck, San Jose police said in a news release.
