New Details Released In Fiery Crash That Killed Teen
The crash happened on I-580 early Sunday morning. Here's what we know so far.
TRI-VALLEY, CA — The California Highway Patrol says the early morning crash Sunday on eastbound I-580 that killed a teenager was not the result of someone driving under the influence.
At 2:35 a.m., CHP officers responded to a three-vehicle crash at the Hopyard Road exit near Pleasanton. Two vehicles were disabled in traffic lanes, and a third vehicle smashed into one of the vehicles "at freeway speeds," engulfing it in flames and killed a 16-year-old male inside.
All lanes of I-580 were closed for two hours for investigators. Police say there was minimal traffic impact, as vehicles were able to exit and re-enter the freeway at Hopyard. The CHP is still investigating.
