HAYWARD — The California Highway Patrol is asking for the public’s help in finding the car that fled the scene of a hit-and-run that killed a Milpitas woman and injured her husband last week.

At 2:10 p.m. Friday, a 1999 Acura was driving southbound on Interstate 880 at Tennyson Road when a vehicle rear-ended them, the CHP said. Related Articles One dead after double shooting at East Bay shopping center

The collision forced the Acura into the sound wall on the highway’s western edge by the eastbound Tennyson on-ramp.

The driver, Lun Yuen, 75, and his wife, Amy Yuen, 72, were taken to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, where Amy Yuen was later pronounced dead.

Family members told KTVU that Lun Yuen suffered a bruised hand, a fractured sternum and was bleeding in the brain, but it all paled next to losing his wife of 50 years.

“To lose your soulmate just like that in an accident and in a moment’s notice,” Peggy Yuen, Amy Yuen’s daughter said.

“My kids saw them that afternoon and now they are trying to wonder why grandma’s not here,” said Wilson Yuen, Amy Yuen’s son.

Witnesses described the other vehicle as a black-and-white Ford Mustang.

CHP Officer Joseph Fowler asked anyone who might have seen the crash or been using a dash cam in that area to call CHP Hayward at 510-489-1500.

He said there are no cameras for that part of the interstate and nearby businesses were either too far away or their view is blocked by sound walls.

“Witnesses who called in have had no description of the other driver and no license plate,” Fowler said. “We are looking, but we don’t have much to go on.”
