FREMONT – A pedestrian was killed last week in a crash believed to have been caused by driving under the influence, police said Tuesday.

The collision occurred in the 45000 block of Fremont Boulevard around 11:30 p.m. Friday. According to police, the driver was subsequently injured when he crashed into a traffic pole about a quarter mile away.

In a statement, Fremont police said they arrested a 58-year-old Sunnyvale man on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage resulting in injury.

When police and emergency services arrived, the pedestrian suffered serious injuries. According to police, rescuers attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and used an automatic external defibrillator, but the victim died at the scene.

Authorities did not immediately identify the victim and were waiting to notify family members.

The accident was the first fatal collision investigated by Fremont police this year.

The suspect went to a hospital and suffered minor injuries, according to police. He remained in custody at the Alameda County Jail Tuesday afternoon on $150,000 bail.
