The California Highway Patrol is looking for a reckless driver weaving in and out of lanes Sunday on southbound Interstate Highway 680 near Pleasant Hill who hit another vehicle and seriously injured the driver.
CHP officials said they received a call at 2:07 p.m. concerning a two-vehicle crash on southbound I-680 south of Willow Pass Road.
An unknown man driving a dark gray Acura TL was reportedly traveling speeding south on I-680. While reportedly weaving recklessly in and out of lanes, the driver lost control of the Acura and crashed into a black BMW 320i. The BMW was driven by a woman and also was occupied by a dog.
The driver of the BMW suffered major injuries and was transported to a hospital, where she’s expected to recover from her injuries, CHP officials said Tuesday. The BMW’s canine passenger was unharmed in the crash and was taken to a local animal shelter before being released to family members.
The driver of the Acura was last seen fleeing the area on foot, heading south toward Homewood Suites by Hilton at 650 Ellinwood Way in Pleasant Hill.
Investigators said the BMW driver was properly seat belted, but they don’t know whether the driver of the Acura was wearing a seatbelt or if the crash was DUI-related.
Investigators ask anyone who witnessed the crash, the events leading up to the crash, or has information or dash-cam footage of the crash and/or suspect, to contact the CHP’s Contra Costa-area office at (925) 646-4980. People can also email their contact information to 320Investigations@chp.ca.gov to be contacted by the investigating officer.
Why hide the license plate?
Black car duh.
Most likely not the car in question. But a stock photo
My guess is to keep the legal owner anonymous if the car was stolen.
Stolen?
Oh! We must protect the Criminal by all means!
We wouldn’t want to embarrass them because that many inconvenience. So no license plate no description of what they look like.
Unfortunately this type of reckless driving is all too common, especially on Highway 4 between Brentwood and Martinez and Highway 24 between Martinez and Oakland. I’m sad to see that an innocent motorist was caught up in this, and I’m holding good thoughts for a speedy recovery.
The CHP and local law enforcement must step up their patrols of these two freeways. And DA Becton must prosecute those arrested for reckless driving to the fullest extent of the law.
Pretty much all freeways are like this.
Hwy 24 between Martinez and Oakland? Huh?
What kind of a low life excuse for a human does that?
Biden’s illegal border crosser
Doubtful.
The collar won’t take long. As for a conviction with prison and asset forfeiture, don’t hold your breath!
No description of suspect? Sorry CHP/BMW driver, but looking for a man in the Concord area might be a little difficult.
Stolen Vehicle ?
Apache Helicopters armed with Miniguns would do a lot to keep our community safer.
The article would get more clicks had it shown a picture of the cute dog. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=860712242751118&set=pcb.860712256084450
The article is a little strange. Do they know the owner of the vehicle? Was it stolen? I’m assuming it’s now being thoroughly processed for fingerprints, DNA, etc. Since it has at least a rear license plate I’m sure there are plate reader hits over the last few months that can assist in identifying the driver. I suspect the driver will turn themselves in once they are sober.
My bet – stolen car by one of Biden’s / Newscum’s friends from over the border … no license, insurance, ID. etc.
Person getting from one place to another with their doggie and some low life scum driving like a wacko sends them to the hospital and the shelter. The innocent person is inured and needs to recover while probably needing to miss work, social functions and hobbies they normally get to do. Sucks!
CHP where on earth are you re: hwy 4 crazies between Concord and Brentwood? Idiots driving on a different level.
i’ll tell you where CHP is. Fighting crime in Oakland and SF. Too bad for us…
No description needed,use your head,not a newcomer,not a cauc.
