A traffic collision occurred on Interstate 680 North near Stoneridge Drive in Pleasanton, CA, late last night, resulting in minor injuries and significant vehicle damage. The incident took place around 11:00 PM when the driver of a silver Infiniti G37 reportedly fell asleep at the wheel, leading to a high-speed crash with another vehicle.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they found the Infiniti heavily damaged. One individual was transported to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation due to minor injuries sustained in the collision. The status of the other vehicle involved is not specified, but it likely also required towing.
Witnesses indicated that the Infiniti was traveling at a high speed and had its headlights off prior to the crash. The driver was initially unresponsive but eventually woke up. An open container was found in the vehicle, raising concerns about the driver’s condition at the time of the incident.
The collision caused debris to scatter across the roadway, prompting authorities to temporarily close several lanes while they managed the aftermath. A tow truck was called to remove the Infiniti from the scene, which was located approximately 30 feet off the roadway in some bushes. The scene was cleared by 1:41 AM, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
This incident highlights the dangers of drowsy driving and the importance of remaining alert behind the wheel. The California Highway Patrol urges drivers to prioritize safety and avoid driving when fatigued.
As investigations continue, officials are gathering more information about the second vehicle involved in the crash. Motorists are advised to stay vigilant and report any reckless driving behavior to authorities.
