File Photo

Two people were killed in a multiple car, multiple injury collision on northbound I680 south of El Cerro in Danville early Sunday.

The crash was reported just before 4 a.m. with fire and California Highway Patrol officers locating several cars strewn along the stretch of road. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports that the crash may have been caused by a wrong-way driver could not be immediately confirmed.

CHP officers declared a SigAlert for that stretch of highway while conducting their investigation of the crash, diverting traffic off the freeway onto El Cerro while they collected evidence.
