A Danville man died after his motorcycle crashed into a downed bicycle on San Ramon Valley Boulevard on the south side of town on Sunday afternoon, according to Danville police.
The 52-year-old motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene; his identity has not yet been revealed publicly, pending notification of his family.
The collision occurred after a bicyclist riding along San Ramon Valley Boulevard in the southbound bicycle lane lost control of their bike and fell into the traffic lane directly in the path of the southbound motorcycle near the Fountain Springs Drive intersection at approximately 12:30 p.m. Sunday, according to police Lt. Jason Ingrassia.
The motorcyclist was unable to avoid a collision and struck the bicycle, sustaining serious injuries that were ultimately fatal, according to Ingrassia. San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District paramedics pronounced the motorcyclist deceased at the scene.
The bicyclist sustained minor injuries in the crash and was transported to San Ramon Regional Medical Center for treatment, according to Ingrassia.
The lieutenant said no criminal charges were filed in the crash, which police deemed to have been accidental.
San Ramon Valley Boulevard was closed between Fountain Springs Drive and Elworthy Ranch Road during the afternoon because of the emergency response and investigation.
Any news on name of deceased? I know it was being withheld until the family was notified. Very, very sad news. Condolences to the family at this very difficult time. 🙁
Thank you for the question. We are still waiting on authorities to release the victim’s identity to the public. Last we heard, before the holiday break, was that they were still working to locate/notify next of kin — which must be completed before they confirm his name publicly.
