The California Highway Patrol is investigating a Friday morning fatal vehicle crash that occurred on I-80 near Hercules.
According to CHP, early this morning, June 21, 2024, CHP Contra Costa was advised of a crash on I-80 westbound just east of Willow Avenue. Our preliminary investigation indicates a Silver Chrysler 300 being driven by an adult male was traveling westbound on I-80 when it collided with an another (Gold) Chrysler 300. The Silver 300 overturned and came to rest on its roof blocking lanes. Several minutes later a third vehicle, a white Mazda3 driven by an adult female, was traveling on I-80 westbound when it crashed into the Silver 300.
The driver of the Gold Chrysler 300 was uninjured. The driver of the Mazda3 sustained suspected major injuries and was transported to the hospital where she is expected to recover. The driver of the Silver Chrysler 300 sustained major injuries and was transported to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Upon initial investigation it was determined the driver of the silver Chrysler 300 was not seat-belted at the time of the crash. This crash is still under investigation.
If anyone witnessed it or the events leading up to it, please contact CHP Contra Costa in Martinez, (925) 646-4980 or email your contact information to [email protected] to be contacted by the investigating officer.
