A Mother’s Plea for Answers After Tragic Loss on I-880

In the early morning hours of June 14, 2025, a devastating accident on southbound Interstate 880 claimed the life of a young man whose family says was deeply loved and full of life. Now, his mother, Maria Fregoso, is speaking out—seeking answers, witnesses, and above all, justice for her son, Nico.

The crash occurred at approximately 6:40 a.m., a time when many commuters were beginning their day. For Nico’s family, however, that moment marked the beginning of unimaginable grief. What happened in those critical moments leading up to the accident remains unclear, and Maria Fregoso is asking for the public’s help in piecing together the truth.

“If anyone was on 880 South that morning and saw anything—no matter how small—I am begging you to come forward,” she said. “As a mother, I need to know what happened to my son.”

She has provided a direct line for anyone with information, urging witnesses to call 510-909-5121. Even the smallest detail, she says, could make a difference.

Nico leaves behind a young daughter who misses him deeply, a loss that will shape her life forever. He is also mourned by his sisters and brothers, who are devastated by his passing and carry his memory with them every single day. His family says he was a constant presence in their lives—someone they will never forget.

Beyond the search for answers, her message is one of love, remembrance, and determination. Nico is remembered not just as a victim of a tragic accident, but as a son, a father, and a brother whose life mattered deeply.

“Justice for Nico,” she says. “Gone but never forgotten. I will be your voice, mijo. I promise to always fight for you. Rest in paradise, my handsome son.”

As the investigation continues, the family hopes the community will come together to help bring clarity and closure to a heartbreaking loss. Anyone who may have been in the area at the time is encouraged to step forward.

For Nico, and for a mother still searching for the truth.
