The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau this week publicly identified the boy who died when his family’s car was struck head-on by an SUV on Highway 84 in Sunol over Labor Day weekend.
The victim was 11-year-old Damarion Jenkins of Fremont.
The boy was among four occupants in a Dodge Charger traveling eastbound on Highway 84 east of the I-680 interchange at about 6:05 a.m. Sept. 5 when it was struck by an oncoming Chevrolet Tahoe, whose driver decided for unknown reasons to turn left from the westbound lane into the east lane, according to the California Highway Patrol.
All five people among the two vehicles sustained major injuries; 11-year-old Jenkins succumbed to his injuries later that morning. The investigation is ongoing, according to the CHP.
Anyone who may have information about the fatal crash can contact the CHP-Dublin office at 925-828-0466.
