The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau has confirmed the identity of the motorcyclist who died after being struck by multiple vehicles in chain-reaction crashes on the freeway in Livermore last week.
The decedent was identified as 27-year-old Ryan Bally Lance, of Livermore.
Family remembered Lance as “warm-spirited, adventurous, and a beautiful soul whose life was tragically cut short in a motorcycle accident, with so much life still ahead” in an obituary online.
“Ryan approached life with compassion, dry humor, and quiet strength,” his family wrote. “Ryan’s passion with motors, boats and cars started when he was just a toddler. He had a work ethic that carried through every part of his life. He was deeply loyal to his close friends and was always the first to show up to lend a hand.”
The circumstances of Lance’s death on Interstate 580 remain under investigation by the California Highway Patrol’s Dublin office.
CHP officials reported that the situation unfolded just before 2:40 a.m. June 3 on eastbound I-580 east of Airway Boulevard in Livermore.
The initial investigation indicated that a Yamaha motorcycle was involved in a crash in the No. 5 lane for unknown reasons and the motorcyclist – later identified as Lance – was ejected and landed in the No. 6 lane. The CHP said the rider was then struck by three other passing vehicles and died at the scene.
Any potential witnesses can contact CHP-Dublin at 925-828-0466.
