A fatal collision involving a pedestrian on I-580 Thursday evening has prompted an investigation by the California Highway Patrol’s Dublin Area Office.
The crash took place at approximately 8:58 p.m. Oct. 9 on eastbound I-580, just east of Foothill Road in Pleasanton, CHP officials said in a statement.
Approximately one minute after the incident, the CHP Golden Gate Communications Center began receiving reports of a pedestrian lying in the freeway’s eastbound traffic lanes, according to CHP officials.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the pedestrian ran into the lanes of traffic and was struck by a passing vehicle, CHP officials said. After the initial impact, the decedent came to rest in the traffic lanes and is believed to have been subsequently struck by multiple vehicles, they added.
The pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Any potential witnesses or anyone with information related to the incident can contact the CHP Dublin Area at 925-828-0466.
