Thanks for the alert. It looked bad. Nixel late as usual and with no pertinent info
Yes ma’am, you’re welcome. Awful start to the day.
SUV on its side? Is the driver ok?
Was this a fatal collision?
Can’t say, of course, Dan – as we don’t make those pronouncements. For now, we’re going with what we reported and hoping for the best.

The Pleasant Hill PD now reports that the injured person died at the hospital.
I was afraid of that. It didn’t look good.
We were afraid of that.
Terrible. Condolences.
I lived near this intersection for awhile. If I recall, it’s a fast downhill road coming from Lafayette, where many people try to make the light at Grayson before it changes. The sheriff’s dept used to run radar on that road (it’s an unincorporated stretch). I have not been there in about a year, but if it’s anything like the old days, it’s basically a raceway from Gloria Terrace down to P Hill.
