The California Highway Patrol announced that a 24-year-old Brentwood woman died in a vehicle crash on Highway 4 Tuesday night.

CHP says last night at about 10:23pm, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a two vehicle traffic collision in the eastbound lanes of HWY 4 at Solano Way. Upon CHP and emergency personnel arrival, it was determined that a red Honda HR-V collided with the back of an unoccupied flatbed truck within the south shoulder.

The female driver of the Honda tragically did not survive the collision and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

In the initial investigation, it appears that the solo female driver of the Honda (24yr old female from Brentwood) was traveling eastbound on HWY 4, partially within the south shoulder, and collided into the back of the unoccupied International 4700 flatbed truck, which was stopped within the shoulder.

The Honda sustained major front end damage and unfortunately the driver of the Honda succumb to her injuries at the scene.

HWY 4 eastbound was shutdown for about 1 hr and 40 minutes for the investigation and removal of the vehicles.

Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision but it is still an ongoing investigation. If anyone witnessed it or the events leading up to it, please contact Contra Costa CHP in Martinez, (925) 646-4980. Thank you.
