Richmond, CA (July 2, 2021) – Troopers with the California Highway Patrol are investigating the death of a victim found on a freeway off-ramp early Wednesday morning, June 30.
Details regarding what may have happened leading up to the incident were not available immediately, including any information about the victim involved. However, troopers with CHP‘s Oakland unit responded to the Regatta Boulevard exit and say that the victim was discovered just off westbound Interstate 580 at 7:30 a.m. EMS and fire rescue units added that the deceased was either riding a motorcycle or walking along the side of the highway.
CHP troopers closed the Regatta Boulevard exit for several hours to clear the scene and investigate the circumstances causing the wreck.
The investigation is ongoing at this time.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim.
Golden State authorities, along with officials with the California Department of Transportation and California Highway Patrol troopers, say that hundreds of thousands of lives are lost annually on California's highways, major thoroughfares connecting large city centers, local streets, and beyond. This is especially true for motorcycle accidents, which often cause catastrophic consequences for vulnerable victims. Furthermore, motorcycle deaths in California accounted for more than 15% of total motor vehicle deaths in 2016. That year, there was an 11% increase in motorcycle fatalities from the previous year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
These serious accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California. When victims are injured in a motorcycle accident, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Oftentimes, as a result of these motorcycle and pedestrian accidents in California, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.
