UPDATE per CHP
FATALITY CRASH on I-680 in DANVILLE
This morning at about 5:59am, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a vehicle collision involving a Big Rig at I-680 southbound, just south of Stone Valley Road. Upon emergency personnel and CHP arrival, the solo male driver of the Big Rig (64yr old male from Oakland) had been ejected and was declared deceased at the scene. A prior non-injury collision was in the roadway just before the Big Rig Freight-liner crashed. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Coroners Office will be handling the release of identity of the male driver.
It appears that the Big Rig driver was unable to avoid the collision that was just ahead of him. He veered his Big Rig to the left in an attempt to avoid the previous crash, towards the concrete center divider, but subsequently crashed into the concrete barrier. It appears that the driver was not wearing his seatbelt because he was ejected onto the roadway. Unfortunately the driver did not survive and was declared deceased at the scene. No other drivers were injured.
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. Thank you.
