The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office is sharing information with the public following a tragic collision that took the life of a community member Saturday night.
At approximately 5:45 p.m. on May 25, 2024, San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Highway 1 and Mirada Rd. on the report of a collision involving a pickup truck and a motorcycle.
A volunteer firefighter was in the area and performed medical care to the motorcyclist until EMS arrived, but sadly, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The driver of the pickup truck, an adult male, remained at the scene and has been fully cooperating with the Sheriff’s Office.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Major Accident Investigation Team responded to the scene to conduct the investigation. Highway 1 traffic was diverted for several hours until the scene was reopened at around 11:30 p.m., Saturday. A SMC Alert was sent out early in the evening to notify drivers to avoid the area.
The motorcyclist was identified by the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office as 28-year-old Joaquin Dominik Jimenez Alvarado, the son of Half Moon Bay Mayor Joaquin Jimenez.
“Our hearts and thoughts are with Mayor Jimenez and his entire family during this time of unimaginable loss. No one is ever prepared for such unexpected tragedies, and when they strike so close to home, they affect us all profoundly. As a community, let us come together to support the Jimenez family and lift them up with our love and strength,” said San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus.
The investigation into the cause of the collision remains ongoing.
The Sheriff’s Office extends its deepest condolences to the Jimenez family during this very difficult time.
