CONCORD — A woman died in a two-vehicle collision that also injured two others Tuesday, according to a social media post from the California Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred at the northernmost intersection of Kirker Pass Road and Hess Road, authorities said.
Shortly before 5:30 p.m., officers from the CHP Contra Costa area office responded to the crash. A Ford Fusion had been attempting to make a left turn from westbound Hess Road onto southbound Kirker Pass Road but pulled in front of a Toyota Sienna that was traveling northbound, police said. The Toyota crashed into the driver’s side of the Ford.
The driver of the Ford, an adult woman, died at the scene due to fatal injuries, authorities said. The passenger of the Ford, a 14-year-old boy, was airlifted to a hospital with suspected major injuries.
The Toyota’s driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance with minor injuries, police added.
The Toyota’s driver and the 14-year-old boy are both expected to recover, authorities said.
Police are continuing to investigate the crash and determined that driving under the influence was not a factor in the collision, authorities added. Kirker Pass Road was closed in both directions from 5:35 p.m. to 8:40 p.m. for the investigation.
