SAN JOSE — A few hours after a man reportedly lost control of his SUV and plowed into a group of outdoor diners at the Grand Century mall, a woman claims she accidentally accelerated into a food cart at a shopping plaza a mile away, killing a man, according to police.
The deadly collision was reported at 6:09 p.m. Sunday in a parking lot of La Placita Tropicana shopping center, at Story and King roads. According to a San Jose police news release, the driver of a 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck was trying to park when she says she “accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake,” causing the truck to lurch forward and hit a man standing near a food cart.
