[07-21-2024] Alameda County, CA – Two People Killed, Another Injured Following Single-Vehicle Collision in Livermore

Two people were killed, while another was injured following a single-vehicle collision in Livermore early Sunday morning, July 21, 2024.

According to the Livermore Police Department, the deadly incident happened just before 2:30 a.m. at South Vasco Road near Naylor Avenue.

Initial investigations indicated that a black Hyundai carrying three people, a man, his girlfriend, and their child, was traveling northbound on South Vasco Road, north of Las Positas Road. For some reason, the Hyundai drove off the roadway and slammed into a nearby tree before being fully engulfed in flames. 

The 25-year-old man, who the officers pulled out of the burning car, was taken to the hospital along with the 5-year-old child. However, the man’s girlfriend and the mother of the child, only described as a 24-year-old woman, died at the scene. 

Moments after arriving at the hospital, the child succumbed to their injuries, leaving only the man as the sole survivor of the accident. As of Monday evening, the man is listed in critical condition.

All three people involved were reportedly from Manteca. Police said that the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau will release the identities of the deceased mother and child at a later time. 

The official cause of the single-vehicle collision is still under investigation. As of now, it is unknown if alcohol, drugs, or speeding played a role.

No further information was immediately available. LPD is still investigating.
