A Stockton man was taken into custody on suspicion of fatal DUI after authorities allege he killed another driver in a crash on Interstate 580 east of Livermore early Sunday morning.
The deadly collision unfolded at about 4:45 a.m. Sunday (Sept. 21) when a white Honda Accord rear-ended a black Tesla Model Y on eastbound I-580 west of Grant Line Road on the Altamont Pass in unincorporated Alameda County, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Tesla driver, a 66-year-old Tracy man whose name was not immediately released, suffered mortal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Officer Tyler Hahn of the CHP-Dublin office.
The Honda driver, a 21-year-old Stockton man, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley hospital in Pleasanton for evaluation, according to Hahn.
CHP investigators, who suspect alcohol and/or drugs may have been factors in the crash, placed the 21-year-old under arrest and booked him into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin after his release from the hospital, according to Hahn. The driver’s name has not yet been revealed.
Officers encourage anyone who witnessed the crash or may have other information relevant to the circumstances to contact CHP-Dublin at 925-828-0466 and ask for either investigating officer, A. Reyes or R. Purl.
