Martinez: CHP Says One Dead in Stolen Vehicle Rollover Crash on Highway 4

At 1:37 am Friday, the California Highway Patrol responded to a report of a vehicle crash which resulted in a fatality. on westbound Highway 4 and the Franklin Canyon off-ramp in the City of Martinez.

UPDATE per CHP (8:00 am)

This morning at approximately 1:35am, Contra Costa CHP was advised of an overturned solo vehicle collision on HWY-4 westbound, east of Franklin Canyon road. Upon emergency personnel and CHP arrival, the male driver (John Doe at this time as he has not yet been identified) had been ejected from a silver Volvo and was lying in the roadway. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency personnel. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Coroners Office will be handling the release of identity once known of the deceased male driver.

While at the scene and conducting the investigation, a registration/vehicle check was conducted on the Volvo and it was determined that it had been recently stolen from a residence in Martinez just prior to the time of the collision. In the initial investigation, it appears that the driver of the Volvo was traveling on HWY-4 westbound at a high rate of speed, in excess of 100mph. The driver veered into the center dirt median and collided with the center metal guardrail, causing the Volvo to spin out of control. It then hurled back across the lanes of traffic, overturned, and came to rest on the right shoulder. The driver was ejected through the closed sun roof and landed in the roadway, where he was located and pronounced deceased.

This incident is still under investigation.

If anyone witnessed this collision or the events leading up to it, please contact Contra Costa CHP in Martinez at (925) 646-4980.
