Brentwood, CA (May 22, 2025) – The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating a deadly head-on collision that claimed the lives of two drivers late Wednesday night in Brentwood.
The incident occurred around 10:18 p.m. on eastbound Highway 4, just west of Fairview Avenue. Authorities say a westbound Acura RL was driving recklessly when it crossed over the double yellow lines and crashed head-on into an oncoming Nissan Ariya.
The violent impact caused the Nissan to catch fire, becoming fully engulfed in flames shortly after the collision. Tragically, both drivers sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
As of now, the Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the identities of the deceased. The CHP’s investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash remains ongoing.
