A 48-year-old female pedestrian was killed after two hit-and-run collisions in Fremont early Sunday morning, June 30, 2024.
According to the Fremont Police Department, the fatal accident happened at about 3:20 a.m. in the area of Christy Street and Stewart Avenue.
FPD said that the victim, only described as a 48-year-old woman from Fremont, was pushing a shopping cart along the northbound lanes of Christy Street when she was struck by an unspecified vehicle. It is believed that another vehicle hit the woman while she was lying in the roadway following the initial crash. Neither of the two drivers reportedly stopped to help the pedestrian or call 911.
Responders pronounced the woman dead at the scene shortly after they arrived. The Alameda County Coronoer’s Bureau will release the deceased’s identity as soon as the next of kin is notified.
At this time, no official description of the suspects or the vehicles involved was released by the authorities. Both hit-and-run drivers are still at large.
Anyone with information to help solve the case or pinpoint the suspects is asked to contact the police at 510-790-6760.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
