Fremont, CA – A bicyclist was killed in the afternoon of Sunday, June 22, 2025, following a collision with a vehicle on the connector from eastbound State Route 84 to northbound Interstate 880, according to CHP Fatal.

The bicyclist and bicycle were found in the center divide, and the involved vehicle pulled over to the right-hand shoulder after the impact. Emergency responders arrived quickly and issued a SigAlert due to the left lane being blocked. All lanes were reopened by 4:03 PM.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin. The incident remains under investigation.
Bicycle Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claims
Drivers have a Duty of Care towards bicyclists, who are particularly vulnerable in traffic accidents. This responsibility includes being vigilant for bicyclists with whom they share the road and, if a fatal collision occurs, staying with the victim, alerting emergency responders, and cooperating with authorities investigating the crash.
For those who lose a loved one in a bicycle accident, filing a Wrongful Death claim with the assistance of an experienced attorney can provide compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, and other related damages.
Should the at-fault driver avoid legal consequences, compensation might still be available through a family member’s uninsured driver coverage. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help determine the best options in such cases.
