Monday evening accident on Mowry Ave now being investigated as a fatal traffic collision.
A 73 year old Fremont man succumbed to injuries sustained in a traffic collision on Monday evening.
On Monday evening at 5:56 p.m., Fremont Dispatch received several calls reporting a major injury collision on Mowry Ave near Civic Center Drive. Fremont Officers and Fremont Fire Paramedics were dispatched to the major injury collision that closed eastbound Mowry Avenue for several hours.
The collision occurred when a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country, driving on westbound Mowry Ave, made a left turn and collided with a 2007 Honda Accord traveling eastbound on Mowry Ave. The driver of the Chrysler made a left turn towards a private driveway (entrance to Washington West) on the back side of Walgreens directly into the path of the Honda. The Honda and Chrysler collided and both vehicles suffered major damages. The sole occupant of the Chrysler was not injured. All three occupants in the Honda sustained injuries. A 64-year old female (driver) suffered moderate injuries, a 13-year old female (front passenger) suffered minor injuries and a 73-year old male (rear passenger) suffered major life threatening injuries. The driver and front passenger were transported to local hospitals and the 73 year old adult male (Fremont resident) was transported to a trauma center where he succumbed to his injuries early Tuesday morning.
Mowry Avenue was closed from the time of the incident until approximately 9:20 p.m. The driver of the Chrysler has been cited and the investigation remains ongoing. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision.
Anyone with information about this collision is asked to contact Traffic Officer L. Tran at [email protected].
