Adam Johnson, 27, died in the hospital Friday due to injuries he suffered when a vehicle struck him on Monterey Road in downtown Morgan Hill Wednesday night, police said.
The accident was reported at 8:47 p.m. on the northbound side of Monterey Road, just south of Third Street. Officers arrived and found Johnson, a Morgan Hill resident, unconscious and lying in the eastern lane of traffic, just in front of the speed hump near Third Street, according to police.
Johnson had suffered major trauma to his head and body, and was transported to San Jose Regional Medical Center, police said.
The police investigation, based on witness testimony, determined Johnson had been walking in the roadway, and for an unknown reason he laid down in the eastern lane of traffic just prior to being struck, police said.
The driver of the vehicle that struck him was not injured and remained at the scene of the collision, police said. The driver did not appear to be intoxicated and was cooperative with authorities.
