A
66-year-old Hayward man suffered fatal injuries after being struck by a
motorcycle.
According to published reports, the tragic accident occurred on Saturday
October 13, 2012, at the intersection of Jackson Street and Silva Avenue. The Hayward
Police Department has reported that motorcycle was travelling eastbound on
Jackson Street at an excessive rate of speed when it struck the pedestrian. The pedestrian victim was reportedly crossing the street in a marked crosswalk at the moment of
impact.
The
pedestrian victim and the motorcyclist were both transported to the Eden
Hospital Trauma Center. Tragically, the pedestrian was unable to
recover from his severe injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital. At Matiasic Roth & Johnson LLP we would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the
victim's family.
