The driver was identified as 48-year-old Guy Perry, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office.
Officers responded to a report of a motorcycle crash on Laswell Avenue and West San Carlos Street, a block east from Bascom Avenue, around 5:30 p.m., police said.
Arriving officers found the motorcyclist, later identified as Perry, who was transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.
