On November 23, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Fremont Police Department Officers were alerted by a license plate reader to a stolen motorcycle near Stevenson Boulevard and Balentine Place. Around 3:50 p.m., a Fremont PD Officer in a marked patrol vehicle located the suspected stolen motorcycle and initiated a vehicle stop as the motorcycle turned onto southbound Nobel Drive. The officer activated the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights, but the motorcyclist sped from the scene. The officer deactivated the emergency lights and did not initiate a pursuit. The motorcyclist continued driving away at a high rate of speed. A short time later the motorcyclist was involved in a solo vehicle collision. Despite life-saving measures administered by Fremont PD Officers and Fremont Fire personnel, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Fremont Police Department Traffic Investigations Unit responded and assumed the collision investigation. Based on the preliminary investigation, the motorcyclist was traveling on Bunche Drive, when he failed to navigate a left bend in the roadway. The motorcyclist struck a curb and a chain-link fence before being ejected from the motorcycle. The motorcycle was confirmed to be stolen. It remains unclear if drug or alcohol impairment contributed to this collision.
The Alameda County Coroner's Office responded to recover the decedent. The deceased motorcyclist has not yet been identified.
This is Fremont’s thirteenth fatal traffic collision in 2024. Seven (7) have occurred on Fremont roadways, four (4) have occurred on state routes, and two (2) on private property.
