A Concord woman was arrested this morning after a suspected DUI crash that killed one pedestrian and sent another pedestrian to the hospital with major injuries.
On July 30 at about 1:50 a.m., a Walnut Creek police officer heard a crash in the area of N. Main Street and Pine Street.
When officers arrived on scene, they located a pickup truck that collided with two pedestrians who were walking on the east sidewalk of N. Main Street near Pine Street.
The vehicle also collided with a cement pillar.
One victim was transported to the hospital with major injuries, and the other victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver, Briana Day (28-year-old Concord resident), was arrested for Driving Under the Influence Causing Injury and Gross Vehicular Manslaughter while Intoxicated. Day was booked at Martinez Detention Facility on $300,000 bail. This case will be presented to the District Attorney for review this week.
If you have any information about this case, please contact Walnut Creek PD Dispatch at 925-935-6400.
RIP innocent person. . Prayers up the second victim recovers from the major injuries. My heart is with the families of the victims as they navigate this horrific tragedy. May the person responsible be punished to the full extent of the law.

Nothing good happens on the streets after midnight.

Briana Day has already bailed out. That was FAST!!!
Vote Mary Knox to prosecute as Becton doesn’t prosecute anything just like Chesa Boudin.
With the amount of ride services and apps that are out there, there’s no excuse for people to still drink and drive. If someone decides to drink while they’re out, schedule a ride and get their car in the morning. Life’s too short!

This is a horrible tragedy! Nobody is above the law and think they can drive while intoxicated. I’m saddened for the families of the victims.
I’m sure someone reading this will blame Biden and say the election was stolen.
Putin did it !

Drove by the crash site today and saw several loved ones of the victim’s leaving flowers. Truly heartbreaking.
Don’t drive and drive!
Based on Miserable Newsom’s new gun “laws”…..does that mean that we can also sue: the car manufacturer, the tire manufacturer, the gasoline supplier, the alcohol maker, the place where the alcohol was consumed???
Blame Biden? How can you blame someone who is does not have a functioning brain.
She was booked and then released the same day.
