FREMONT — A woman died early Sunday after she was struck by a vehicle while crossing Mission Boulevard, authorities said.
The woman’s name was not immediately released pending notification of her family by the coroner’s office.
The fatal collision happened around 5:40 a.m. Sunday on Mission Boulevard West near Mojave Drive.
Police said the woman was crossing Mission Boulevard but was not in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by a vehicle. She was transported to a hospital where she later died.
The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, authorities said. Police said drugs or alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the collision.
Westbound Mission Boulevard was closed between Interstate 680 and Warm Springs Boulevard for several hours while the police investigation took place.
Anyone who witnessed the collision or has other information about what happened is asked to contact the Police Department at 510-790-6760.
The death follows an Oct. 3 traffic accident near the same intersection where a man died after being struck by a bus in the area of Mission Boulevard and Warm Springs Boulevard.
The woman’s death is the 12th fatal traffic collision in Fremont this year, police said.
