At 12:43 am Saturday, Antioch Police and Contra Costa County firefighters responded to a major injury accident that left at least one person dead and four injured in Antioch.
The incident occurred at Hillcrest Avenue and Wildflower Drive where a vehicle struck a tree and one person was ejected from the vehicle and four others were listed in critical condition.
The incident shut down the roadway in both directions as firefighters worked the scene trying to extricate two patients who were trapped in the vehicle.
At least four AMR ambulances were requested along with four medical helicopters, however, due to an earlier crash in Byron injuring five people, local helicopters were unavailable.
One helicopter arrived within 30-minutes of the crash which transported one patient to Eden Medical Center, however, others were more than an hour away.
No further details were provided on scene and Antioch Police were expected to release information later Saturday morning.
