SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose State football player Camdan McWright died Friday morning in a traffic accident while riding an electric scooter. He was 18 years old.
McWright was a freshman running back from Panorama City, where he was twice named the MVP of his high school league.
The university confirmed McWright's death, and said it is cooperating with the San Jose Police Department and California Highway Patrol.
"We lost an amazing young man tragically this morning," San Jose State coach Brent Brennan said. "Camdan had a bright future ahead of him and everyone in this community that had the opportunity to spend time with him knew that. We are still trying to deal with the news of this tragedy, and appreciate everyone's support during these difficult times.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the McWright family and I want them to know we are all here for them. Camdan will always be in our hearts and he will be profoundly missed."
The incident took place two blocks from the SJSU campus and is being investigated by the CHP, which has jurisdiction because McWright was hit by a school bus.
CHP policy prevents it from confirming the identify of a victim before it has received notice the family has been notified; however, officer Mike Lee was authorized to provide more information about what happened.
