Fatal Collision Overnight Closes Highway 680

Kristy Blackstock August 12, 2012 at 10:43 am

Do we have any names or car make?!!!

Autumn Johnson (Editor) August 12, 2012 at 10:47 am

@Kristy, nothing yet but we will add to the story as information comes in. If they do have the identities of the victims, the coroner does not generally release the names until next of kin have been notified.

Kristy Blackstock August 12, 2012 at 11:10 am

Ok thank you. I have family & friends who live off Crow Canyon exit; just concerned....

News reported a man driving white car hit a BMW convertible carrying a man and woman. Both men driving were killed. Woman in BMW critical. Man in white car appears to be at fault. He was speeding.

@Kristy, I totally understand. Sad collision to have happened.

My prayers for the injured, departed and for family and friends of the victims. Also, for the emergency workers, police and other witnesses of this horrible accident. May God give healing and peace to all involved.

I saw it on ch 2 news and it was definitely a white car that was reported by a witness seen in excess of driving over 100 mph. I saw the car and the other mangled car was dark in color. I couldn't identify the make of the white car but it was a 4 door model.

beth August 12, 2012 at 01:00 pm

There is a picture of the white car on their website or watch first story on ch 2. Tragic! Shouldn't have happened.

Megan August 12, 2012 at 01:12 pm

anyone that drives 680 knows the average speed is about 80 or so in the day time so in the wee hours of the morning I would probably say speed would be well over 100.

beth August 12, 2012 at 01:49 pm

Yes TJ. Now watching on larger high def screen, I can see the lighter car seems to have BMW wheels. A witness reported that the car at fault was seen speeding and at times driving with his lights off.

The CHP site says its a Silver Porsche and a white sedan and a black Nissan cube and maroon Toyota....confusing !!

I was there I was right behind the dark or black honda, he had his lighst turned off and was speeding at about 100mpr. he was about to hit 2 other cars before and then he crashed into the wall to avoid hitting the bmw but ended up hitting it anyway. its sad when people die over a stupid action like this.

Mary August 13, 2012 at 12:40 am

The black car was speeding with the lights turned off. he was about to hit 2 other cars beside me because he was going at about 100mph ... swerving from lane to lane in the dark no one could see him. it was when the lanes merged that he lost control. I was right behind the black car when it hit the other one. i did not see it go into flames all i saw was the person in the bmw, just fainted. the impact was so hard I knew the black car had a small chance of making it out of this crash. I have no idea why or if he was DUI, but this accident was horrific.

Mary August 13, 2012 at 12:41 am

It was a black or very dark honda, and a BMW roadster

Jon Doe August 13, 2012 at 01:12 am

Mary you need to call Dublin CHP 925-828-0466

Megan August 13, 2012 at 01:21 am

heard there was a Porsche also involved?

Mary August 13, 2012 at 02:04 am

It was a black Honda and a BMW Roadster. Only those 2 cars were involved at the beginning. I saw a head of a person in the BMW just fainted, and the airbags deployed.

Mary August 13, 2012 at 02:05 am

I will right now.

Mary August 13, 2012 at 02:11 am

MissA, maybe there was a porsche after I left but not at the beginning when the honda hit the BMW. I will call the Dublin CHP tomorrow to let them know what I witnessed. I will update you all on what they tell me...

MissA August 13, 2012 at 02:14 am

The 6th call call at 1:25 am to the CHP says it was a silver Porsche

Mary August 13, 2012 at 02:21 am

OMG, I was under the impression the these 2 cars were the only once, since that is all I witnessed.

MissA August 13, 2012 at 02:23 am

Mary. Did you read my post from 11:07am.it reports the were 4 cars.

Mary August 13, 2012 at 02:28 am

yea but i was only there for 2 and only got access to my computer a little while ago. when I left the accident scene there were just the two we were going to get out and help but the workers just told us to stay in the car and keep going. OMG, this is so sad. I have never seen anything so close and felt so useless. I so sad for the families of those who passed away. ----MissA, thanks for the information. please keep us posted on any other details.

meomine August 13, 2012 at 03:50 am

black/white car was actually a "green" nissan maximum

rosevear September 10, 2012 at 11:04 pm

I am the Momma of the young man in the Maxima. I am so sorry for the family that is suffering from this fatal accident as well as all of us that are devasted from the loss of Brandon, just about 19 years old. And to all that may have witnessed this horrible event my heart is broken and my eyes filled with tears when I think of the horror that you saw and its effect that I am certain it has left embedded within your mind. I can only pray for the loved ones survived and the people that this tragedy has stricken. Two people left us and there is only tears and heart piercing pain that I have for all. Sincerely~ with the Love of The Lord, Lisa
