What exactly is a “trash” crash?
Very sad.

typo sorry friends
Tragic. So young! Condolences to his family and friends
Rip Young soul
RIP young man. That is a very dangerous intersection, I see kids crossing through red lights making traffic stop and also like this poor soul crossing out side the cross walks. Very dangerous intersection keep you eyes wide open and drive slow.
we used to walk downstairs and cross underneath the busy street when I lived in San Jose to get to and from our elementary school, junior high or high school on foot. They could have built a walk way that went over the street as well. They should have did the same for e-BART. Why didn’t they do that in Antioch? They certainly spent enough money on the area. why don’t they build subways or overpasses so the kids don’t have to use the roadway to cross. Guess the City of Antioch doesn’t care very much about the lives of its citizens.
