A motorcyclist killed in a crash involving an allegedly intoxicated driver near Pittsburg early Sunday morning has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner’s office as 29-year-old Antioch resident Vincent Fisher II.
California Highway Patrol officers responded at 2:09 a.m. to a report of a crash involving three vehicles on eastbound state Highway 4 just east of Bailey Road.
A 2002 Volkswagen sedan, a 2015 Toyota sedan and a 2016 Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by Fisher were the three vehicles involved, CHP officials said.
The Volkswagen driver, 59-year-old Tony Moss, of Antioch, was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek to be treated for his injuries and was later booked into county jail on suspicion of DUI, according
to the CHP.
The Toyota driver, a 20-year-old man from Oakley, suffered only minor injuries in the crash.
Investigators determined Moss had been driving the wrong way in the eastbound lanes before colliding with the Toyota. Fisher was then ejected from his motorcycle after it was involved in the collision, according to the CHP. He died at the scene.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the CHP’s Contra Costa-area office at (925) 646-4980.
Holy hell, good luck to the Fisher family and any of the involved parties. Sad all way around
Painful to read this as the motorcyclist had about 1 second to realize this was it when he saw those light coming at him in a place designed for that to never happen.This means the car driver took a left onto the freeway all the way back from Railroad ave.How he made it that far is unbelievable.What an a$$hole.Why won’t they ban alcohol?It’s never suggested because banning something in America only creates crime
James you mean ban alcohol again don’t you?
Seriously, have you never heard of the 18th Amendment, the Volstead Act and the 21st Amendment?
It’s been tried and it failed… and you are right, about all it did was make Alphonse “Al” “Scarface” Gabriel Capone a very rich man…about 100 million dollars in 1940 dollars rich…
Very good proffesor ,what do you think the reference “it only creates crime”meant?
It’s already been tried, It created organized crime.Pat yourself on the back for explaining something that didn’t need explaining.
James
Something tells me I actually did have to explain it. No shame in not knowing American history. Sorry to have embarrassed you.
Carnac A liberal trying to look smart always looks like a liar
Im twice your age so I know a little about history.
Nice try on your self pat on the back twice.Get some rest.
What else would be a reference to banning something creates crime??
I know,you’re lonely and need to feel helpful and smart.Gd lk.
To have to have refered to what I meant would be to say nobody get sublties and cant figure it,and pretty much anyone that can read knows about prohibition,professor.Your middle school diploma has served you well,asd you were the only one paying attention in history.
Carnac sublties are meant for those with above average IQ,as everyone here knew what I meant but you,Im not sorry you embarrassed yourself.Nice try ,kid.
Always make sure you wear DOT approved helmets and not split lanes. Rip young man.
All my prays go out to the Fisher family. So unfair and needless. I am truly sorry.
We miss you friend! We will always remember you!
