Family Still Sought For Pedestrian Killed In Fremont

FREMONT, CA — The Alameda County Coroner's Bureau is still trying to track down the family of the person killed Thursday, March 7 in an auto-pedestrian accident in Fremont. Because they have not been notified, the person's name cannot be released to the public. "We wouldn't want the family reading it" so the bureau will continue to trying to track down family.

The Fremont Police Department reports that the man is a Fremont resident in his 60s. The accident happened on Mission Boulevard at Warm Springs Boulevard at about 7:30 p.m.

Investigators have analyzed video from Community Cameras and a VTA bus. Police said in a release, "The video showed the signal light cycled to green for southbound vehicular traffic and the pedestrian light also cycled to permit pedestrian crossing. The victim then started walking within the crosswalk. As the man crossed the roadway, he was initially almost struck by a vehicle turning right from south-bound Warm Springs turning west onto Mission Blvd. Immediately after, as he continued walking, a second vehicle turned right and struck the man."

This contradicts the initial report from the CHP that indicated the man was struck by two vehicles.

The man was hit by a 2000 Lexus sedan. The driver stopped and is cooperating with police.

The investigation continues. If you have information about the crash, contact MRamsey@fremont.gov or call 510-790-6760.
