SAN JOSE -- Like she had all her life, Kiran Pabla spent her last moments doting on her family.
Right around noon Monday, the 24-year-old San Jose native was out on a jog and called her grandmother, who had been out of town the past couple of months visiting relatives in Bakersfield. Among those relatives was Pabla's aunt, Anu Mohan.
Seconds later, Pabla was dead at the hands of two drivers in a suspected street race on Yerba Buena Road whose cars barreled down the road, soon colliding and bouncing off a guardrail before careening right into the graduate of nearby Silver Creek High School, pinning her against a tree, according to police. Pabla was less than a mile from home.
"She just went for a jog," Mohan said.
Two San Jose men have been jailed in connection with the crash. Gabriel Becerra Esparza, 18, was driving the Nissan Altima that hit Pabla, and 23-year-old Manuel Anthony Maldonado-Avalos was driving the BMW sedan that he was allegedly racing, police said. Both were booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and reckless driving causing great bodily injury after police say they were traveling more than 70 mph.
