EMERYVILLE, Alameda County, Calif., Nov. 13, 2026 — A motorcyclist was hurt on Thursday afternoon, November 12, in a hit-and-run crash on eastbound I-80 near Ashby Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 4 p.m. on eastbound I-80, just west of the Ashby Avenue exit. The agency's report describes a collision between a motorcycle and a white truck, with the rider left in the number two lane after the crash. The truck involved reportedly did not stop at the scene.
Several passing drivers stopped to help, including the driver of a blue Honda Accord. An ambulance was called to treat the rider for injuries. The extent of those injuries has not been released.
Responding units kept at least one lane blocked while they worked the scene, and a tow truck was requested to clear a disabled vehicle. Emeryville police were notified to watch for the truck described in the report. The CHP has not announced any arrests, and the search for the vehicle that fled remains under investigation.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and avoid moving an injured rider unless there is an immediate danger. Get contact and insurance information from any other drivers and note details of other vehicles involved, which can help if a driver leaves the scene.
Are motorcycle crashes more common at intersections or lane changes?
Many motorcycle collisions happen where vehicles merge, change lanes, or cross paths, since smaller motorcycles can be harder for other drivers to see in those moments.
How does the road surface affect motorcycle safety?
Uneven pavement, debris, and lane markings can affect a motorcycle's traction more than they affect a car's, since a motorcycle relies on two narrow contact points with the road.
What gear helps reduce injury for riders?
A DOT-approved helmet, a riding jacket, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are commonly recommended, since they can reduce the severity of road rash and head injuries in a fall or collision.
