Motorcyclist Killed in Hit-and-Run Crash on I-580 in Alameda County
Alameda County, CA (November 8, 2024) On Wednesday evening, a motorcyclist died after a tragic hit-and-run crash on Grant Line Road.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal accident happened around 7:40 p.m. west of Grant Line Road near the Stone Cut railroad overcrossing.
Reports a hit-and-run crash on eastbound Interstate 580 in Alameda County claimed the life of a motorcyclist.
CHP responded to the crash found the motorcyclist lying in traffic lanes with severe injuries. Despite rescue efforts, the rider was pronounced dead shortly after.
Investigators determined that a gold SUV, possibly an older Lexus model, had been weaving erratically through traffic. The SUV sideswiped the motorcycle, which was lane-splitting at the time, causing the rider and motorcycle to slide under a passing big-rig.
Following the impact, both the gold SUV and the big-rig briefly stopped but then fled the scene. Authorities described the big-rig as hauling a white shipping container with red lettering on a flatbed trailer.
The CHP is actively investigating the crash and urges anyone with information to come forward.
