Union City, CA – On the morning of Monday, April 14, 2025, a single-vehicle crash resulted in fatal injuries, according to CHP Fatal.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident took place around 6:08 AM near the Interstate 880 North off-ramp at Alvarado Niles Road.
Initial reports indicate that a black sedan exited the off-ramp and veered onto the right-hand shoulder, where it came to a stop. Witnesses observed an individual outside the vehicle on the ground.
Emergency medical services were dispatched immediately. Responding units from the fire department and sheriff’s office initially had difficulty locating the crash due to confusion over the exact ramp and location.
By approximately 6:43 AM, personnel had located the scene north of the off-ramp and confirmed that the individual was unresponsive. Rescue crews broke into the vehicle to gain access and assess the occupant. Despite life-saving efforts, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner was notified and dispatched shortly after 7:00 AM to take over the investigation and recovery of the deceased.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash and whether any medical emergency, mechanical failure, or environmental factors may have played a role. The identity of the deceased has not been released pending next-of-kin notification.
Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
