Pedestrian killed by car in Fremont late Sunday night

It remains unclear whether the victim was in a crosswalk when hit, police said.

A pedestrian was fatally struck by a car late Sunday night in Fremont, police said.

The vehicle was driving northbound on Paseo Padre Parkway when it hit the man just before midnight, said Fremont Police Sgt. Shawn Decker.

The driver stopped after the collision and has not been arrested, Decker said.

By early Monday morning, it was still unclear whether the victim had been in a crosswalk when struck, Decker said. “There is a crosswalk in the area,” he said. “It’s unclear because when people get hit they get moved.”

Authorities had not yet confirmed the identity of the victim, or determined whether drugs or alcohol were involved, he said.

The collision and crash investigation led to the closure of northbound Paseo Padre from Walnut Avenue to Capitol Avenue until about 5:30 a.m. Monday.
