I-580 Motorcycle Crash Victim Was 25-Year-Old Future Nurse, Amador Valley Alum: Report

PLEASANTON, CA — The victim of a fatal motorcycle collision was identified by the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau as 25-year-old Scott Renton. Pleasanton Weekly identified Renton as an Amador Valley High School alumnus studying to be a nurse.

The crash occurred Thursday afternoon on eastbound I-580 near Eden Canyon Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. Investigators believe Renton was riding a Yamaha RZFR6 motorcycle that initially struck a gray Toyota Sienna, causing him to be ejected from his motorcycle into the left lane. He was then struck by an oncoming Toyota Tundra.

Renton's mother told Pleasanton Weekly that her son had just finished his nursing applications last week. "He loved helping babies the most. He had the best smile and told us he loved us all the time," she said.

According to the Weekly, Renton started as a lifeguard, and worked for several years as an EMT technician at Washington Hospital in Fremont, where he met his girlfriend. His mother told the Weekly he had recently given her a promise ring, indicating intent to marry after she finished her studies.
