CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — California Highway Patrol is investigating the death Saturday of a woman in a solo-vehicle accident on State Highway 4 north of Concord in Contra Costa County, her car having sustained bullet-hole damage on the driver's side, the CHP said.
Authorities identified the deceased woman as Destinee Shaharisha-Jenae Hillery, 25, of Antioch.
The preliminary investigation was of a "suspicious death," said CHP Officer Hannah Wolcott.
The accident was first reported at about 2:25 p.m. Saturday, when an eastbound silver Honda Accord veered first into the center divider and then across all eastbound lanes onto the Willow Pass Road exit offramp.
CHP investigators remained at the scene at 9 p.m. Saturday. By then, all four lanes of eastbound Highway 4 were open; anywhere from one to all four eastbound lanes had been closed at various points Saturday as the investigation unfolded. The eastbound Willow Pass Road off-ramp itself
remained closed late into Saturday night.
