CHP UPDATE: FATAL CRASH ON I-680 NEAR MARTINEZ.
Late last night, July 14, 2024, at approximately 10:55pm, CHP Contra Costa was advised of a crash on I-680 southbound, just north of Concord Avenue. Our preliminary investigation indicates a black Honda Civic – occupied by a male adult (driver) and a female adult (passenger) – was involved in a solo vehicle crash verses the right concrete barrier on I-680 southbound, just south of SR-4.
As a result of this crash the Honda deflected off the right concrete barrier and came to rest blocking the 3 and 4 lanes, just north of Concord Avenue. After the Honda came to rest, the driver exited his vehicle. While out of his vehicle, the driver was struck by a black Chevrolet Tahoe traveling on I-680 southbound- occupied by a female adult (driver) and a male adult (passenger). This impact pushed the driver of the Honda further south and into the roadway.
Shortly after, the driver of the Honda was struck a second time by a silver Toyota Corolla – driven and solely occupied by a male adult. Upon crashing into the driver of the Honda, the Corolla veered left, crashed into the concrete center divider, overturned, and came to rest blocking lanes.
CHP Officers arrived on scene, along with other emergency services, and worked together to control the scene.
The driver of the Corolla sustained major injuries as a result of this crash and was subsequently transported to the hospital. The driver of the Honda sustained fatal injuries as a result of the multiple crashes, and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Upon further investigation it was determined the driver of the Honda may have been DUI. All other parties involved were properly seat-belted in their respective vehicles.
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 320Investigations@chp.ca.gov to be contacted by the investigating officer.
