A woman died early Sunday, October 25, 2026, after she was struck on westbound Interstate 80 in Solano County, just east of the Cordelia commercial vehicle scales near Fairfield. The California Highway Patrol received the first report at about 12:49 a.m. and found her in the roadway with obvious signs of death. The CHP says the driver of a tractor-trailer who merged onto westbound I-80 from State Route 12 allegedly struck her.
NBC Bay Area reports that the truck driver, a 59-year-old man, thought he had hit a large box and pulled into the scales after noticing radiator damage, where officers recovered evidence linking the truck to the crash. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected for the driver, according to that report. The San Francisco Chronicle covered the crash under the headline “Pedestrian fatally struck on North Bay highway days after similar crash.” The CHP is still working to formally identify the victim and asks anyone with information to contact its Solano Area office.
