He drove to Santa Clara where he allegedly attempted to carjack another vehicle, but was unsuccessful.
SJPD Sgt. Christian Camarillo said a few minutes after 6 p.m., police received notification of a stolen car. Officers found the car in east San Jose, and monitored the vehicle with an airship. After the suspect drove to Santa Clara, he exited the stolen car and unsuccessfully attempted to carjack another car. He then returned to the stolen vehicle and drove to Hedding and Park. That's where police said he collided with another vehicle with two people inside. Police said the uninvolved citizens suffered minor to moderate injuries. "It was kind of surreal," Gavin Rust, 15, one of the neighbors to witness the flames, said.
The suspect was transported to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. No officers were struck or injured, police said.
