The following is from the Concord Police Department:
Today, Concord Police officers attempted to stop a vehicle reported stolen out of Alameda County. The driver failed to yield and fled into a nearby neighborhood. Officers searching the area located the stolen vehicle abandoned. Witnesses informed officers that the suspects entered a second vehicle, which was later determined to be stolen, and fled the scene.
A CPD officer spotted the second vehicle traveling northbound on Willow Pass Road from Landana Drive. As it approached Highway 4, the vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle traveling southbound on Willow Pass Road near the Kinney Bridge. Fortunately, only minor injuries were reported at the scene. CPD officers were not in pursuit of the vehicle at the time of the collision.
The two suspects were arrested on multiple charges related to the stolen vehicles and the collision. Willow Pass Road was closed for approximately one hour during the investigation.
