On Wednesday, August 3, 2016, at approximately 1:33 PM the Antioch Police Department received a call from a citizen regarding a fire inspector having a subject at gunpoint on G Street and West 14th Street. APD officers arrived and found there was a vehicle collision with injuries at the intersection.
A Contra Costa Fire Inspector had a 19-year-old male from Hayward detained. The fire inspector believed the 19-year-old male was attempting to flee the scene of the collision on foot.
It was learned the fire inspector was traveling southbound on G Street when the 19-year-old male passed him illegally. A 41-year-old female from Antioch was pulling off of West 14th Street when the 19-year-old struck her broadside. The 41-year-old female was transported to a local hospital for injuries sustained in the collision. A 19-year-old Antioch male who was a passenger in the responsible vehicle was also transported to a local hospital for complaint of pain. The 19-year-old male from Hayward was issued a citation for illegal passing and speed violations and was released on his signed promise to appear in court.
There will be no further information released regarding this case at this time. Anyone with information is asked to all the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925) 778-2441. You may also text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using the key word ANTIOCH.
