Driver Killed On 680 After 4-Vehicle Crash: Report

SAN RAMON, CA — A driver was killed early Saturday morning after their vehicle was involved in four separate crashes on 680, according to the California Highway Patrol.

At around 3 a.m. Saturday on southbound 680 near the Alcosta Boulevard interchange near the Dublin-San Ramon border, a Mercedes C230 struck the center divider, causing it to stop, CHP Officer Tyler Hahn told Pleasanton Weekly.

This caused a Ford Fusion to crash into the disabled car, causing the driver to be ejected, Hahn said. The Mercedes was hit again by a semi-truck, sending it back toward the center divider and hitting another car.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, Hahn said. Lanes were closed for about 4 hours.

This followed a crash Friday morning on 680 near Bernal Avenue in Pleasanton. At about 5:15 a.m., an overturned big rig blocked northbound I-680 traffic for about 5 hours. No one was injured, CHP officers told Bay City News.
