All lanes are now reopened at the connector between Interstate 580 and Interstate 238 in Alameda County after a fatal collision involving a pedestrian, according to the CHP.
One eastbound lane was closed at about 5:10 a.m. following the report of the fatality, said CHP spokesman Daniel Jacowitz.
A black Honda SRV driven by a 71-year-old Castro Valley resident collided with a 28-year-old female Turlock resident, who was pronounced dead at the scene, said Jacowitz.Get a weekly recap of the latest San Francisco Bay Area housing news.Jacowitz said the victim had exited a nearby white Chevy Malibu that was still occupied. Jacowitz said it was unclear exactly why she had exited, but the car was not disabled.
"This is just a very tragic, sad incident, something that could have possibly been avoidable," said Jacowitz. He said CHP is reminding the public that walking on highways is inherently dangerous and to avoid doing so. The eastbound lane on the Interstate 580 connector was closed for about 90 minutes as the investigation was underway.
