The fatality happened about 5:35 p.m. on Sept. 6.
HAYWARD — A 55-year-old bicyclist killed by a hit-and-run driver last week, is being described by family and friends as “incredibly smart, friendly and genuine” and as a man who was loved by everyone who knew him.
Police said the fatal collision happened about 5:36 p.m. Sept. 6 at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Orchard Avenue. A GoFundMe account for Pena had raised $32,615 by 3:30 p.m. Monday. The account’s organizer, Derrick Lobo, a family friend, wrote that Pena is survived by his wife of 23 years, a daughter who turned 21 the day before he was killed, another daughter, 19 and a son, 16.
“I remember how excited Chris was when his girls got into UC Berkeley and UC Davis,” Lobo wrote. “Education was everything to him and I know without a doubt that he would want his kids to finish college and get those degrees.”
