Reckless Drivers: ARE YOU TIRED OF DANGEROUS DRIVERS ON HIGHWAY 4? SO IS THE OAKLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT!
The Oakley Police Department may not always be in a position to hold drivers accountable on Highway 4 but when we can, we do. On Friday, October 10, 2025 at 10:45PM Oakley Police Officer Williams was returning to Oakley after booking somebody in Martinez. As Officer Williams was traveling through Pittsburg, on Highway 4, he saw two vehicles, a blue Ford Mustang and a black Infiniti, race past him at a high rate of speed. Officer Williams followed after the two vehicles and noticed they seemed to be racing each other and taunting him, while also recklessly cutting other motorists off as they quickly changed lanes. At one point it was estimated the vehicles were travelling 115 MPH. Officer Williams requested air support and that call was answered by STARR3 of the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Together Officer Williams and STARR3 worked on keeping an eye on both vehicles. Officer Williams was able to get the driver of the Infiniti to stop near Sommersville Rd. while STARR3 continued to monitor the Mustang. STARR3 noticed that even after the Infiniti was out of play, the Mustang continued to drive recklessly and at speeds of 90MPH. The Mustang took the Main St. offramp off of Hwy. 160 and was met by Oakley Police Officers Arcaina, Calegari and Hernandez. The driver of the Mustang began to make better choices and yielded to the officers in the adjacent Chevron parking lot.
Officers issued both drivers citations for engaging in a speed contest and for driving at unsafe speeds. Our officers also towed both vehicles and impounded them for 30 days, which is allowed by law in situations like these and can be quite costly.
Chief Beard said of this incident “Once again the officers of the Oakley Police Department actively demonstrated they are not content to just sit around and wait to be called for their services. Our officers are always looking for violations to investigate and mitigate for the safety of our community. It just so happens, in this case, they were taking care of an issue that was occurring in the greater region of East Contra Costa County, but I am sure we can all relate how we have witnessed this type of driving behavior on Highway 4 and said to ourselves “I sure wish an officer was around right now”. It will not always happen this way, but this time there was an officer around and he chose to take action. This type of driving endangered every family on the road that night and I am glad officers did the appropriate thing to bring the situation to a safe ending and took additional steps to make sure those particular vehicles will be out of commission for a little while.
Thank you officers and stay safe Oakley!”
