""They had to do an emergency craniotomy for decompression and doctors told us that it didn't look good at all," Naldoza said. But after six days in the hospital, Adela died on Sept. 2. "All of us are so confused, like, how did this happen to someone walking? There are a lot of people walking here. And that section is huge, it's like at least 10 plus feet," Naldoza said."
"San Jose Police say the bicyclist remained at the scene he was shortly arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for suspicion of DUI. During a press conference Thursday, San Jose Police Senior Public Information Representative Stacie Shih said Adela and the bicyclist were going in the same direction, westbound on Ocala. "During the investigation, they found he was under the influence of a controlled substance," Shih said."
""He made bad choices, and it was a choice to be impaired. So I mean, if anything, we hear of DUI's all the time, and to be a DUI on a bicycle that's insane," Steve Naldoza said. Adela is a mother of five. Her children launched a GoFundMe that will now go towards end-of-life expenses. In 2003, Adela beat colon cancer."
Adela Naldoza, 75, regularly walked and exercised near Hillview Park in East San Jose and loved to dance. On Aug. 27 she was struck while walking along a bike lane on Ocala Avenue, suffering critical head injuries that required an emergency craniotomy. After six days in the hospital she died on Sept. 2. The bicyclist remained at the scene and was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of DUI; investigators found he was under the influence of a controlled substance. Family members expressed confusion and grief, launched a GoFundMe for end-of-life expenses, and recalled her 2003 recovery from colon cancer.
