The Foothill High School community in Pleasanton is grieving the loss one of its students to a fatal vehicle crash earlier this month.
Daniel Hernandez Alvarado, 17, from Pleasanton was killed when the BMW 535i he was driving struck a tree on Del Valle Road south of Mendenhall Road in Livermore on the evening on Jan. 4, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Alameda County Coroner confirmed Alvarado as the victim this week.
A GoFundMe page set up for Alvarado’s family days after his death had raised close to $6,800 as of Wednesday evening. The accompanying post describes him as a student at Foothill High School.
“Daniel was a bright and kind-hearted young man whose life was taken far too soon. He touched the lives of many with his contagious smile, compassionate nature, and incredible potential,” the post read.
