Driver Airlifted to Hospital After Highway 84 Crash

Bay City News - A driver had to be airlifted from the scene of a crash on state Highway 84 near Sunol Tuesday morning after smashing into a pole, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The driver's white Ford pickup struck the pole at about 10:50 a.m. on Highway 84 just east of northbound Interstate Highway 680, CHP Officer Peter Van Eckhardt said.

A second vehicle might have been involved, but it was not clear how, he said.

The driver of the pickup truck suffered major injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, Van Eckhardt said. Highway 84 was briefly shut down while the pickup was moved to the center divide, but traffic did not appear to be impacted, he said.
