She was one of six people in a Mazda CX-9 that crashed shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday on I-680 at the I-242 split near Concord, the California Highway Patrol said.

Emergency personnel were alerted to the crash at 5:14 a.m. and found the Mazda on its roof with multiple occupants ejected from the car, CHP Officer Adam Lane said.

The SUV was traveling northbound on I-680 when it left the roadway, traveled through the dirt median that separates the two freeways, and overturned multiple times.

"Our initial investigation indicates several of the occupants were not wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash," Lane said.

Multiple passengers were ejected from the car and four females were rushed to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek for treatment of major injuries.

Danna suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the CHP, the driver, a Hispanic man around 30 years old, was at large after he walked away from the scene.

Authorities asked anyone who witnessed the crash —or events right before or after— to call CHP Contra Costa in Martinez at 925-646-4980 or email their contact information to 320Investigations@chp.ca.gov to be contacted by an investigator.
