A vehicle pursuit by the Oakley Police Department resulted in a male driver losing control and rolling over multiple times before crashing into a Brentwood home Thursday morning.
According to preliminary information on scene, Oakley police reported the incident began at roughly 11:34 am where a female was either thrown or jumped out of a moving vehicle after an argument with the male driver near Main Street and Empire Avenue. She sustained minor injuries.
It was also reported the male driver was driving erratically, but police did not elaborate further.
A short time later, Oakley police officers located vehicle and a pursuit began where they were driving southbound down O’Hara Avenue towards the City of Brentwood.
At 11:54 am, officers were still in pursuit of the vehicle when the male lost control and hit the curb which caused the vehicle to roll several times while taking out brush and trees. It then struck the sound wall followed by a home in the 500 block of Caper Drive off O’Hara Avenue in the City of Brentwood. The home was not occupied at the time of the crash.
In the process of the crash, a dog inside the vehicle was thrown during the wreck.
A medical helicopter was requested by East Contra Costa Firefighters and AMR–the male was in and out of consciousness.
The damaged included the house, a fence, sound wall, and several trees and brush were destroyed. It’s also unclear if Brentwood Police also engaged in the pursuit or simply responded to the crash.
Currently, Caper Drive is closed and northbound traffic on O’Hara Avenue at Sand Creek was also being diverted as of 1:00 pm.

Forget the driver, how is the dog???
Hope the dog is ok and makes a full recovery if injured. Hopefully the driver dies a slow painful death, it would benefit society.
