Fremont Hit-and-Run on State Route 84 Leaves Injury Behind

One Person Injured in Fremont Hit-and-Run Near Ardenwood Boulevard Off-Ramp

A Fremont hit-and-run incident caused injuries on State Route 84 on August 6, just east of the Ardenwood Boulevard off-ramp. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded around 8:36 a.m. to the two-vehicle hit-and-run crash. According to initial reports, the sedan that was struck hit the center divide, leaving it sitting sideways and blocking the left lane of westbound traffic. 

Fremont Hit-and-Run Being Actively Investigated

The collision’s impact and subsequent blockage led to significant traffic delays as emergency crews arrived to assist the injured party. The driver responsible for the collision reportedly fled the scene. The CHP traffic crash unit is actively investigating the Fremont hit-and-run as they work to identify the missing driver and gather information showing what caused the collision. 

How a Personal Injury Attorney Finds a Hit-and-Run Driver

When a hit-and-run occurs, accident lawyers use a combination of investigative strategies and resources to help identify and locate the fleeing driver. Here’s how the process typically works:

• Coordinating With Law Enforcement: Lawyers closely collaborate with police, who immediately begin an investigation at the crash scene, including evidence collection, witness statements, and physical clues.
• Gathering and Analyzing Evidence: Lawyers gather and document eyewitness testimonies, physical evidence, check surveillance footage, and examine DMV and registration databases.
• Public Tips and Social Media: Lawyers may post accident details in community groups or on social media, ask for public assistance, and alert repair shops to watch for vehicles with recent, matching damage. Social media can also be monitored for posts where someone might share or brag about their involvement.
• Private Investigators: In more complex cases, lawyers may hire private investigators to canvass neighborhoods, look for more camera footage, or gather tips law enforcement may have missed.
• Following Up With Repair Shops: Attorneys may contact local body shops to see if any vehicles matching the description of the suspect car have been brought in for repairs consistent with the accident’s damage.

Using Auto Insurance to Pay for Injuries Caused by a Hit-and-Run Driver

If a Fremont hit-and-run driver injures you and the at-fault motorist cannot be identified, you still have options for getting your medical expenses and losses covered through your auto insurance policy. You can use your uninsured/underinsured auto policy to recover medical expenses, wages you lost, and more. If you do not have this auto insurance, but a family member has it, theirs can be used instead. The rates will not change.
