1 Dead in Fremont Pedestrian Accident on State Route 84 and Paseo Padre Parkway

FREMONT, CA (October 9, 2024) – Sunday, a brutal pedestrian crash on State Route 84 and Paseo Padre Parkway killed 1 person.

The incident occurred around 5:41 a.m. on westbound State Route 84 east of Paseo Padre Parkway.

According to the CHP, the man who was killed had stopped his Tesla near the center divider and walked to the divider before returning to the third lane. A passing motorist reported seeing him throwing objects at vehicles before being struck and killed by a Dodge Challenger, the CHP said.

The Challenger did not stop, but debris from the vehicle was found at the scene, CHP Officer Kylie Musselman stated. Some debris contained part numbers, allowing the CHP to trace them back to the owner.

Before the CHP could contact the owner, an East Palo Alto resident, he called to report that after reviewing his dashboard video at home, he realized he had hit the man.

Musselman mentioned that CHP officers also reviewed the footage, which showed the man in the roadway holding something in his hand before being struck.

The CHP is still investigating why the man stopped his vehicle and threw objects on the road. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the CHP Hayward office at 510-489-1500.
