The victim was a 45-year-old man who was working in the construction zone when he was struck by a driver investigators say was under the influence of alcohol.
The worker died from his injuries.
According to UC Berkeley's Transportation Injury Mapping System, which tracks collisions in the area, there were 21 fatalities along the Fix 50 route between 2015 and 2019. That number increased to 31 fatalities between 2021 and 2025, an increase of nearly 50%.
Some commuters said they have seen drivers make last-minute lane changes or appear unprepared for detours and shifting roadways.
The crashes also can have an impact on the construction schedule.
"CHP makes its own investigations. That area in particular, we cannot work on that area," Caltrans said. "So there goes a couple of days that are behind that the contractor will need to try to catch up for those lost three or four days."
Officials are reminding drivers that construction-zone laws remain in effect. The speed limit in the work zone is 55 mph, and drivers are required to move over when possible or slow down when approaching workers or construction activity along the shoulder.
The investigation into Tuesday's deadly crash remains ongoing.
