Coroner IDs 38-Year-Old Man Killed In Livermore Motorcycle Accident

LIVERMORE, CA — The Alameda County Coroner's Bureau confirmed to Patch that 38-year-old Justin Thomas was the victim of a fatal Oct. 17 motorcycle accident on North Mines Road.

Thomas was traveling northbound on North Mines Road the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 17, according to a Livermore Police Department news release. A red Honda CR-V traveling southbound was making a left turn onto Shirley Way when it collided with the motorcycle. Police believe the driver, a Livermore resident in her 60s, did not see the motorcyclist and failed to yield.

The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department performed life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver stayed on the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Police do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role. The investigation is ongoing.

“JT was absolutely so full of life, could carry on a conversation on just about any topic and with anyone, had a smile you could never forget, played music with all his heart and soul, and was one of the most generous and kind humans you could ever meet,” said a Meal Train fundraiser that is raising money for meals for his family. Thomas was engaged to be married and had three children, according to the description.

An Ever Loved page in his memory described Thomas as “heavily involved in his community” and part of a band. He loved music, motorcycles, car shows, performance cars, planes, his work family, and his friends.
