One person is dead after a solo-vehicle collision on westbound hwy.4 in Martinez, just east of Pine St.
Upon emergency personnel and CHP arrival, it was determined that a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by an unidentified male, had left the roadway on the north side of hwy.4, traveled through the cyclone perimeter fence, and came to rest on its wheels on Arnold Dr.
The vehicle became engulfed in flames.
The solo unidentified male driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.

God Bless this poor guy. Prayers to his family and friends.
RIP unidentified driver.
Does anyone know what happened this morning on Contra Costa Blvd. near Chilpancingo Pkwy? Northbound and Southbound Contra Costa Bl were closed.
Car Crash… Driver had to be extricated out said he “couldn’t feel his legs.”
So sad to hear, prayers go out to the family – RIP.
Sad to hear this. When did it happen? Why are they calling it a collision?
My thoughts exactly. I saw the remainder of the mess today along Arnold.
It’s a collision because he collided with the cyclone fence.
A responder said the steering shaft appears to have separated from the steering box.
Before or after the accident?
Very sad. That is the third fatality from the vehicles burning recently in bad accidents. I feel bad for their loved ones.
Anon: exactly, I have no pity. I think it was karma and he got was he deserved.
