NEWARK — An unhoused man riding a bicycle the wrong way on Highway 84 suffered fatal injuries Sunday when he was struck by a vehicle that was trying to avoid crashing into another vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said.
The name of the man killed was not immediately released pending notification of his family. Authorities said he was a 43-year-old Newark transient.
The fatal collision happened about 3:30 p.m. Sunday on eastbound Highway 84 just went of Interstate 880.
The CHP said the man killed was riding a bicycle westbound in the center median against eastbound traffic. CHP Officer Nicole Mendibil said investigators have not determined why he was riding in the wrong direction.
Eastbound traffic came to a stop, also for an unknown reason; an eastbound vehicle trying to avoid crashing into another vehicle veered into the divider and struck the man on the bicycle head-on, the CHP said.
The bicyclist was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
The man driving the Mercedes sedan that struck the bicyclist remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be factors in the collision, the CHP said.
