FREMONT — A pedestrian trying to move through traffic on the city’s primary thoroughfare died Monday after being hit by two cars, police said.
Authorities did not identify the pedestrian immediately. It was the fourth traffic fatality in the city since the start of 2026.
In a statement, Fremont police said the pedestrian tried to cross Stevenson Boulevard at mid-block, about 200 hundred feet west of the Sundale Drive intersection. A driver of a Toyota Scion hit the pedestrian about 8:30 p.m., police said.
Another car also hit the pedestrian a few moments later.
Police and Fremont Fire personnel treated the pedestrian at the scene, and an ambulance rushed the person to a hospital. The pedestrian died there.
