On December 28, 2024, at about 2:36 a.m., Walnut Creek Police officers were dispatched to a single-vehicle collision on the 1600 block of Newell Avenue underneath the Highway 680 overpass. A Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was first on scene and was performing CPR on an injured juvenile male when Walnut Creek Police officers and medical personnel arrived. The juvenile was transported by ambulance to the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek but tragically succumbed to his injuries. Members of Walnut Creek Police Department’s Major Accident Investigations Team (MAIT) investigated the collision scene and determined that five juveniles had occupied the vehicle prior to the collision. Three occupants, one of whom was believed to be the driver, fled the scene on foot after the collision. Officers located the juvenile male driver in San Jose and arrested him for vehicular manslaughter and felony hit and run. This case continues to be under investigation, and the names of the driver, victim, and passengers are not being released since all are juveniles. If you witnessed this collision or have any information, please contact the Walnut Creek Police Department at 925-943-5844.

It can be very hard to parent an independent kid, and don’t I know that for a fact. But it can be done!
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Just leave your friend to die. They should all be punished to the full extent of the law.
Tragic, I’m glad they were caught.
Illegals again I guarantee!!!! Get em outta here MAGA
No the usual suspects,but they are citizens and had no legit business in WC,They dont mention that the car is stolen.
It has been reported that the person who died was a Honduran national staying with family in San Jose. The 17yr old cousin stayed behind to give the police an account of the accident.
