The victims of the crash reported at 10:38 a.m. on eastbound Highway 580 west of West Grant Line Road were named as Lev Bun, 40, and Phy Phom, 35, both of Oakland.

The vehicle may have hydroplaned on pooling water before it rolled over multiple times and came to rest down an embankment, according to Alameda County Battalion Chief Stephanie Radecke.

Bun and Phom were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Two children, ages 5 and 6, were transported to a hospital. One of them suffered traumatic injuries, Radecke said.
