The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying witnesses to a fatal accident that occurred on Saturday, September 21, 2024, on Interstate 580 eastbound, just west of First Street in Livermore.

The crash, which happened around 8:20 PM, involved a pedestrian, a 24-year-old woman from Pleasant Hill, who reportedly jumped out of a black 2018 Audi under suspicious circumstances. CHP investigators say the woman exited the front passenger seat, rolled into traffic lanes, and was struck by several vehicles. Tragically, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Audi briefly stopped on the right shoulder but then fled the scene. They were later arrested in Tracy on suspicion of felony hit-and-run.

The CHP is investigating the details of the incident, and it remains unclear whether the woman exited the vehicle voluntarily or if foul play was involved. The CHP is urging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has information about the vehicles that struck the woman to contact the Dublin CHP office at (925) 828-0466.
