The decedent was 61-year-old Timmy Anderson, according to the coroner’s bureau, which did not have a city of residence listed for Anderson.

The situation unfolded at around 9:20 p.m. July 22 on Mountain House Road west of West Grant Line Road, just on the Alameda County side of the border with San Joaquin County, California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Purl reported at the time.

A Harley Davidson motorcycle crashed on its own while traveling eastbound, with the rider thrown off the motorcycle onto the roadway and the bike coming to rest on the right shoulder, according to Purl.

Just afterward, a Honda vehicle was coming upon the same location traveling eastbound on Mountain House Road at about 45-50 mph. “The driver of the Honda did not observe the motorcycle or its rider, on the dark road, prior to the crash. The Honda collided with the rider who had been ejected,” Purl said.

The motorcyclist — later identified as Anderson — succumbed to injuries after the second crash, Purl said. The Honda driver, whose name was not released, was reportedly uninjured.

The circumstances of the fatality remain under investigation. Anyone who has information about the case can contact CHP-Dublin at 925-828-0466.

Anderson’s death marked the final of four separate fatal crashes in the greater Tri-Valley during a 30-hour span between July 21-22.
