Injury Collision Investigation

This morning around 07:20 AM. officers responded to a vehicle collision near the intersection of East Leland Rd. west of Century Blvd. The involved vehicle was found to have collided with a tree located within the center medium.

When officers arrived, they found the driver was trapped inside the vehicle and the front passenger had been ejected into the roadway. A child was seated and secured in a child safety seat in the rear seat of vehicle. The driver of the vehicle had to be extricated by first responders and all three occupants were later transported to John Muir Walnut Creek for additional medical treatment.

All occupants are listed in critical, but stable condition. The cause of the collision is unknown at this time. Impairment nor distracted driving appeared to be a factor in the cause of the collision. This investigation remains active.

The Pittsburg Police Department reminds you that when rain begins to fall, roadway friction is reduced. Be sure to slow down and turn on your headlights. Wet pavement will increase stopping distances and vehicle control. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Need to outlaw trees!
When trees are outlawed only outlaws will have trees.

I agree, trees before speeding and seatbelts. Avoidable and preventable! The weather and the tree are not to blame. It’s the one sitting in the driver’s seat that decided to drive fast in the rain and decided not to remind the passenger who was ejected to put their seatbelt on. Even if it’s only a “short distance” to where they were going. I’m sure they live nearby. Now deal with the tragedies that lie before them forever. Happens all the time, you hear these accidents where people are ejected because they failed to put on their seatbelt that only takes 2 seconds to put on. Smh

This crazy bitch ran red lights speeding on delta fair blvd leading up to Leland where the dumb bitch lost control and ran into a tree. There was just a similar crash in Antioch last month where two young teens lost their lives because of speeding in wet weather. Unfortunately both of these times, the driver is to blame. They’re in the driver’s seat driving unsafe because they choose to make a bad decision. Luckily no one else was involved in both cases. Smh
