Fozz 0 #1 August 15, 2007 Motorcyclist dies in downtown Oakland accident FROM STAFF REPORTS Article Last Updated: 08/14/2007 01:03:11 PM PDT OAKLAND - A man was killed Tuesday morning near Chinatown when the motorcycle he was riding was brushed by a SUV causing it to hit a parked car and eject him into a retaining wall, police said. The name of the dead man, a 42-year-old Alameda resident, was not released pending notification of relatives. The name of the SUV driver, who police said was a Coast Guard enlisted man, was not released. The incident happened about 6 a.m. in the 100 block of Seventh Street, between Jackson and Madison streets. Traffic Officer James Gordon said both vehicles had come out of the Posey Tube into Oakland from Alameda and were going eastbound on Seventh Street. He said the Coast Guard member told police he was on his way to work at Government Island in Alameda and that police believe the motorcyclist was also on his way to work, but they are not sure where. Gordon said the motorcyclist was in the extreme right lane which the SUV — a Chevrolet Equinox — was trying to get into. He said the preliminary investigation indicates the SUV apparently brushed the motorcycle, making it hit a parked vehicle and jump a curb where the rider was ejected into a cinder block wall, causing fatal injuries. The SUV driver was questioned and released pending further investigation.
