At 9:36 pm Friday, Antioch and Brentwood police officers responded to a report of a vehicle crash on Lone Tree Way at Slatten Ranch in Antioch.

On arrival, it was learned a 23-year-old female driver of a white pickup truck had been westbound on Lone Tree Way prior to the collision. She failed to stop for a red traffic signal and collided with a vehicle that was turning into the shopping center from eastbound Lone Tree Way.

Not everything you feel should be said, specially on a public forum. An intelligent person knows how to chose their words. A wise man knows when not to speak them.
