One person died and another suffered major injuries in a solo-vehicle crash on state Highway 242 in Concord early Sunday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported at 1:54 a.m. on southbound Highway 242 near the Concord Avenue off-ramp.
A blue Nissan Sentra struck the guardrail of the off-ramp, causing the right front passenger in the Nissan to be ejected from the vehicle. First responders arriving at the scene took the passenger to a hospital, while the Nissan driver was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP officials said.
The name of the driver who died was not immediately available from the Contra Costa County coroner’s office.
Anyone with information about the crash or the events leading up to it is asked to call the CHP’s Contra Costa-area office at (925) 646-4980 or email 320investigations@chp.ca.gov.

So sad. RIP. My thoughts and prayers go out to loved ones.
If only someone would invent something that will stop people from being ejected from their car in case of a crash……
Maybe I will and GET RICH. Never mind…..they probably wouldn’t use it anyway.
Seat belts@
They were only going to east county so they didnt need seat belts they figured.
Like seat belts? That’s the only way, but you gotta use ’em, or you’re a missile!

An alcohol related incident?
.
Yes , the car smelt of alcohol
@NOE….What does purifying metal from ore or a little fish have to do with smelling alcohol in the car?
It could be that getting ejected saved the passenger’s life…stranger things have happened.
seatbelts brethren, do you wear them? Are you suicidal?
RIP
They won’t be told what to do by “the man”.They are smarter.
R.I.P
The person who ejected the vehicle is still alive?
Anyone ever notice that it’s always a Nissan Sentra or Altima? What’s up with thar?
I don’t understand why vehicles are designed to go over 80/90 mph in the first place ???
Because people are designed to follow instructions,depending on their upbringing.
Gee, I wonder how we can stop people from getting ejected from cars and dying. You’d think someone would have made invention 70 years ago to prevent this. Oh wait, they did 🤷🏻♂️
It’s too oppressive so they”ve got it outsmarted.They will just jump out the window when they see it coming,like this guy did..
I can picture one kid saying to the other;man,what are you doing?You don’t need to wear your seat belt,I know how to drive…..”
