Officers initially responded at 12:18 a.m. to a report of a wrong-way driver heading south in the northbound lanes of I-680 south of Lake Herman Road in Solano County in a dark-colored Toyota RAV4, CHP officials said.
The Toyota continued into Contra Costa County and then collided head-on with a white Dodge Challenger that was on the transition ramp from eastbound Highway 24 to northbound I-680. The Dodge driver died at the scene and their name was not immediately available.
The Toyota driver survived the crash and was taken to a hospital. Investigators determined the driver was under the influence and was subsequently arrested. The CHP said the driver, whose name has not been released, will be booked into jail on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and DUI once medically cleared.
The transition ramp was closed for several hours Wednesday morning but reopened shortly after 8:30 a.m.
Anyone with information about the case or the events leading up to it can contact the CHP’s Contra Costa-area office at 925-646-4980 or by email at 320investigations@chp.ca.gov.
