1 Killed, 5 Injured In Vallejo Crash

VALLEJO, CA — Investigators believe intoxication and speed may have been factors in a traffic collision Wednesday night in Vallejo that left one person dead and at least five others injured, police said.

Three cars were involved in the crash at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday at Maine Street and Mare Island Way.

A 34-year-old Vallejo woman was ejected from the front passenger seat of one of the cars and was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

The driver of the vehicle was airlifted to a local hospital for treatment of critical injuries; intoxication and speed are being investigated in connection with this party, according to Vallejo Police Department Spokeswoman Brittany Jackson said.

There were two backseat passengers; one was ejected and both suffered minor to moderate injuries.

Two people in another car were taken to hospitals for treatment of minor injuries.

"Intoxication and speed do not appear to be a factor of this involved party," Jackson said.

A person was sitting inside a parked car when it was also hit but that person was not injured, Jackson said.

The identity of the woman who died was being withheld by the Solano County Coroner's Office pending notification of her next of kin.

The Vallejo Police Department Traffic Division is investigating the collision and asked anyone with information to call Officer K. Trimble at 707-648-4011.
