Two killed, six injured in crash on I-680 in Pleasanton

PLEASANTON – Two people were killed and six others were injured in a crash Monday afternoon on Interstate 680 in Pleasanton, the California Highway Patrol said.

The solo-vehicle collision was reported around 2:35 p.m. on southbound I-680 at the Sunol Boulevard off-ramp, according to CHP dispatch logs.

A 2004 Honda Pilot left the roadway and hit a tree, CHP Officer Tyler Hahn told the Bay Area News Group.

Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, Hahn said, adding that two others suffered major injuries and four others suffered minor injuries as a result of the crash.

The two people who died were adults, said Alameda County Fire Department spokesperson Cheryl Hurd. Two of the four people who suffered minor injuries were children.

Hahn said it was not immediately clear what caused the Honda to leave the roadway, but he noted it was lightly raining at the time. Alcohol and drugs are not suspected as factors in the crash.

The CHP issued a Sig-alert shortly after the crash. As of 4:05 p.m., two of the three lanes were open.
