The San Jose State Spartans are mourning one of their own.
On Oct. 21, San Jose State University announced that Camdan McWright, a running back for the school’s football team, has died at the age of 18 in a “tragic accident,” according to a statement from the school.
“We lost an amazing young man tragically this morning. Camdan had a bright future ahead of him and everyone in this community that had the opportunity to spend time with him knew that,” San Jose State football coach Brent Brennan said in a statement.”We are still trying to deal with the news of this tragedy, and appreciate everyone’s support during these difficult times.”
The California Highway Patrol confirmed to E! News that an 18-year-old man was killed in San Jose after being hit by a school bus on Oct. 21 but did not identify the victim by name.
The CHP report, obtained by E! News, stated that the bus entered an intersection on a green light before 7 a.m. as the man was riding on an electric scooter into a crosswalk, “traveling directly into the path of the oncoming bus.”
“The driver of the bus was unable to stop in time,” the report said, “and hit the 18-year-old male, causing fatal injuries.”
