[03-24-2022] Santa Clara County, CA – Bicyclist Nearly Struck in Two-Vehicle Crash in San Jose

A car accident involving two vehicles and a bicyclist was caught on camera in San Jose on Thursday, March 24, 2022. The crash occurred at 2:05 p.m. in the area of Julian Street and 17th Street.

According to surveillance footage, a silver car had a green light coming down Julian Street, while a Porsche SUV and a bicyclist both ran a red light on 17th Street.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

The vehicles ended up in Danny Rey’s front yard, and the entire incident was captured on his security cameras.
According to police, the Porsche driver was identified as 53-year-old Carlos B.

According to SJPD, he fled after an officer attempted to stop him for speeding.

Due to protocol, the officer did not pursue Bryand, but the crash occurred shortly after.

According to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department, the Porsche SUV was reported stolen by two carjacking suspects in 2020. Bryand was not named as a suspect in that investigation.

Bryand was taken into custody and charged with having a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, and other offenses.

Ironically, the cyclist’s life may have been saved due to the collision. The cyclist would have been hit by the silver car if Bryand had not run the red light.
