SAN JOSE, CA (October 13, 2020)—One person died Sunday when a driver had accidentally pressed on the accelerator instead of the brake, striking a man nearby at a parking lot on Story Road and King Road.
 
According to news reports, the incident happened around 6:10 p.m. at the La Placita Tropicana shopping center.
