The crash happened just before noon on Nov. 21 on El Camino Real and Accolti Way. That intersection is right in front of the university's athletic complex.
The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the police investigation. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be factors.
The city said there were no other vehicles reportedly involved, but police are still investigating the crash. Witnesses are asked to call (408) 615-4764.
