Man Killed On I-680 South Of Walnut Creek Identified

WALNUT CREEK, CA — A man killed in a big-rig crash Saturday morning on Interstate Highway 680 in Alamo has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner's office as 64-year-old Brentwood resident Anthony Wilson.

The crash happened shortly before 6 a.m. Saturday on southbound Highway 680 just south of Stone Valley Road.

Wilson was driving a Freightliner big-rig and came upon a non-injury crash in his lane of the highway. He veered left to try to avoid the crash and struck the center divider, according to the California Highway Patrol. He apparently was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected onto the roadway as a result of the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other drivers were injured as a result of the crash.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the CHP's Contra Costa-area office at (925) 646-4980.
