A motorcyclist died at an area hospital after being critically injured in a crash with an oncoming vehicle making a left turn across Mines Road in Livermore on Saturday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred some time before 1:30 p.m. Saturday, with CHP receiving the report after the motorcyclist was already en route to the hospital, according to Officer Tyler Hahn. One CHP-Dublin unit responded to the scene while another office headed to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley where the ambulance was headed.
Hahn said preliminary investigation indicates a 2015 Jeep Wrangler traveling at an unknown speed southbound on Mines Road, about one mile south of the Tesla Road intersection, began making a left turn across the northbound lane into a driveway.
At the same time, a 2020 BMW motorcycle ridden by a 60-year-old Fremont man was traveling northbound on Mines Road at an unknown speed. The two vehicles collided, with the front of the motorcycle hitting the right front of the Jeep, according to Hahn.
“Unfortunately the rider of the motorcycle was pronounced deceased at Eden Medical Center,” Hahn said. “Further investigation is still pending into speeds of both vehicles that led to this collision.”
The identity of the motorcyclist who died has not yet been released publicly by the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau. Hahn said the Jeep driver was a 59-year-old woman from Livermore but her name won’t be revealed at this point in the investigation.
