By Lieutenant Don LaDue, Field Services Bureau Commander, Antioch Police Department
On Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 at approximately 3:16 PM, Antioch Police Officers were dispatched to the intersection of Buchanan Road and Del Oro Circle for a single vehicle collision. Officers arrived on scene and located a vehicle that had left the roadway and collided with a tree.
Contra Costa Firefighters arrived on scene and had to extricate the driver from the vehicle. The driver, and sole vehicle occupant, was transported to a local trauma center with major injuries.
Our preliminary investigation indicates that the victim was traveling W/B on Buchanan Rd when he lost control of his vehicle at a slight bend in road. The victim’s vehicle left the roadway and collided with a large tree. Speed and inclement weather appear to be factors in this collision. It is not known at this time if alcohol was a factor.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is encouraged to contact the Antioch Police Department at (925) 778-2441.
