Fremont Pedestrian In Crosswalk Dies Of Injuries Following Crash

FREMONT, CA — A pedestrian who was struck as she was walking in a crosswalk in Fremont on Friday has succumbed to her injuries and died, the Fremont Police Department announced on Monday.

At approximately 7:42 a.m., police received a call about a collision with a pedestrian at the intersection of Blacow Road and Royal Palm Drive. Officers discovered a woman lying in the road with major injuries.

She crossed all lanes of northbound Blacow Road. As she was crossing the number one lane of southbound Blacow, she was struck by a vehicle being driven by a 43-year-old woman.

There were no signs or symptoms of impairment with the woman who was driving the vehicle, police said.
