A 25 year old man has been charged with felony vehicular manslaughter hit and run in the August fatality that occurred on Boyce RD.
Just before 5:00 a.m., on August 28, 2019, 28-year-old Fremont resident Kiranjot Deol was riding his bicycle as he often did to a Tech Company in Menlo Park where he worked. As he rode in the bicycle lane on Boyce Road, between Auto Mall Parkway and Stewart Avenue, in the City of Fremont, he was struck and killed by a motorist who initially fled the scene.
Eventually the motorist, 25-year-old Rosendo Cruz Vargas, a Ceres, California resident returned to the scene where he found Kiranjot Deol deceased in the bicycle lane. Vargas phoned 911 and Fremont police and fire personnel immediately responded, along with an ambulance. Deol was pronounced deceased as he laid in the bicycle lane.
After a lengthy investigation of the evidence, investigating officers determined probable cause existed that Rosendo Vargas had committed vehicular manslaughter and hit and run. Officers presented their case to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for criminal charges and Vargas was charged with felony vehicular manslaughter along with felony hit and run.
Vargas self-surrendered to Fremont Traffic Investigators on December 12th and was taken into custody. Vargas has since been released pending future court proceedings.
