A man was arrested Oct. 19 after reportedly causing a multi-vehicle collision in Campbell that killed a man and injured others.

According to Campbell Police, at about 12:52pm, officers responded to the intersection of San Tomas Expressway and Campbell Avenue for the crash.

The driver of a vehicle traveling northbound on San Tomas Expressway attempted to turn right onto Campbell Avenue, lost control, and struck the cement median, police said. The vehicle then entered opposing lanes of traffic on Campbell Avenue and hit three vehicles before coming to a stop.


The male adult driver of one of the vehicles struck died at the scene, while the female adult passenger of the same vehicle was transported to the hospital in critical condition, according to police.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the vehicle that caused the collision was traveling at a high rate of speed and was unable to navigate the turn. He was identified as Fabian Andres Colorado, 37, and has been arrested and booked for vehicular manslaughter.


“As our officers continue to investigate this incident to the full extent, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the victim,” Campbell Police Chief Gary Berg said. 

Those with information about the crash are asked to call the non-emergency line at 408.866.2101.
