(KRON) — A 50-year-old Livermore woman who was critically injured after running a red light and crashing her sportbike motorcycle into a sedan Tuesday afternoon was later pronounced dead, according to police.
Livermore police said officers responded to the traffic collision at 1 p.m. near Isabel Avenue and Stanley Boulevard and provided CPR to the injured motorcyclist before medics arrived at the scene. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
“A preliminary investigation indicates the motorcyclist, riding a sport bike, was traveling northbound on Isabel Avenue and failed to stop at a red light before entering the intersection,” said police in a social media post Wednesday. “She collided with a newer gray sedan that was turning left to travel southbound on Isabel Avenue.”

The driver of the vehicle, confirmed as an 87-year-old Pleasanton woman, sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital and released. Police said she is cooperating with investigators.
