FREMONT, Alameda County, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 — A motorcyclist was hurt in a crash on northbound I-880 near Decoto Road on Wednesday night, November 11, according to the California Highway Patrol. The rider was reportedly found lying on the right shoulder after the bike went down in the slow lane.
The crash was first logged as a traffic collision with a request for an ambulance. Dispatch notes describe a motorcycle down with parts scattered across the roadway and a helmet left in the middle lane. Early reports gave conflicting descriptions of the other vehicle involved, first as a white pickup truck and later as a gray Toyota Camry, and it was not clear whether the vehicles collided directly or the rider went down separately. A passerby reportedly stopped to help before responders arrived.
The CHP said the collision was later upgraded to a major injury crash. Fire crews and a tow truck were sent to the scene, and lanes were affected on the right shoulder near the Decoto Road connector. No information on the motorcyclist's condition, age, or gender has been released.
The circumstances of the crash, including who may have been at fault, remain under investigation. The CHP has not said whether impairment or speed played a role.
We wish those injured a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do left-turning cars cause motorcycle collisions?
Many motorcycle crashes happen when a car turns left across a rider's path, usually because the driver misjudges the motorcycle's speed or distance or simply doesn't see it in time.
What can drivers do to watch for motorcycles?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, slowing down at intersections, and giving motorcycles a full lane of space can help drivers spot riders sooner.
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Riders should move to a safe area if possible, call 911, avoid removing a helmet unless necessary, and seek medical care even if injuries seem minor.
Are motorcycle accidents more common at intersections?
Intersections and highway merge points, where vehicles cross paths or change lanes, are common locations for motorcycle crashes.
