BYRON (CBS SF)
Byron Highway was closed for hours following a fatal crash
that left two dead Saturday morning near the Byron Airport in unincorporated
Contra Costa County, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident was reported near Byron Highway and Byron Hot
Springs Road at 10:44 a.m.
An 89-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were both killed
in the wreck, which occurred when a Ford Flex making a left hand turn was
broad-sided by a pickup truck from behind, according to Officer John Fransen.
Both vehicles went out of control and overturned. The Ford
Flex rolled into a ditch and the pickup truck collided with a telephone pole,
according to Fransen.
“There were several children that were passengers within the
silver Dodge pickup truck, and they were flown to Children’s Hospital in
Oakland,” Fransen said.
At least two adults were transported to medical centers, but
as of 2 p.m. it was unclear how many victims survived the crash and to what
extent they were injured.
