Police Ask for Public’s Help in September Hit-and-Run

Fremont police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the driver in a hit-and-run with a bicyclist that took place last month. 

According to the Fremont Police Department, the incident occurred at 9:55 p.m. on Sept. 25 when the driver of a black vehicle struck a female bicyclist at the Paseo Padre Parkway and Washington Boulevard intersection.

The driver left the scene and did not return.

Arriving officers found a non-responsive 20-year-old woman lying in the crosswalk with a damaged bicycle.

She was transported to a local trauma center with non-life threating injuries and was released shortly after, police said.

Police believe the driver was heading southbound on Paseo Padre Parkway through the intersection. The bicyclist may have collided with the driver’s side of the vehicle, at either the front or rear tire area.

“The driver may not even be aware of [the] collision,” traffic officer Kelly Snow said.

Fremont police are hoping that the driver will come forward and give a statement.

Any residents who may have witnessed the incident are also urged to come forward.  

Anyone with information is asked to contact traffic officer Kelly Snow at ksnow@fremont.gov or to call the Traffic Unit at 510-790-6760. Tips can also be left at www.fremontpolice.org/tip.
