The San Jose Police Department reports that the accident took place around 1:20 PM at Meridian Avenue and Blackford Lane.
Authorities said the motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital following the collision but did not survive. The condition of the driver of the other vehicle involved had not been confirmed at the time of reporting.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s comparative negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.
Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
