The California Highway Patrol said Tuesday that an 18-year-old female was killed in a solo vehicle crash on eastbound Highway 4 just east of Cummings Skyway.
The crash occurred at 9:41 pm Monday.
According to CHP, upon emergency personnel and CHP arrival, the passenger, who was the female, was declared deceased and the driver (a 28yr old male) suffered minor injuries only. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Coroners Office will be handling the release of identity of the deceased female passenger.
In our initial investigation, it appears the male driver of the silver 2014 Jeep Laredo was traveling on HWY-4 eastbound, just east of Cummings Skyway when he allowed the Jeep to veer to the right and completely off the roadway, subsequently colliding into a tree. The collision caused fatal injuries to the female passenger and the male driver suffered minor injuries.
Alcohol or drugs are not suspected in this collision but 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.
