For the second time in three days and sixth time in 2023, Vallejo suffered a fatal traffic collision
According to a Saturday news release, the Vallejo Police Department received a call on Friday at approximately 6:32 a.m. regarding a solo injury collision near Columbus Pkwy and Redwood Pkwy.
On arrival, officers determined a 2005 Toyota Tundra was traveling on Columbus Parkway when the driver lost control of the vehicle striking the center median. The vehicle ultimately rolled over and came to rest in the opposite lane of traffic.
According to that release, the juvenile driver was transported to a local hospital to be treated for their injuries. The juvenile passenger in the Tundra sustained life-threatening injuries and was declared deceased at the scene. The decedent's name is being withheld due to their age.
The driver of the Tundra is cooperating with the investigation and drugs and/or alcohol do not appear to be a factor at this time.
Anyone with further evidence or information is asked to contact Corporal Kenneth Trimble of the Vallejo Police Department Patrol Division at (707) 648-4011 or by email at Kenneth.trimble@cityofvallejo.net. Please refer to case #23-8689.
The Friday incident comes just two days after a criminal car crash involving three vehicles that resulted in the death of a driver. That pursuit ended as the car fled east in the 3300 block of Tennessee Street, weaving through vehicles and dismissing traffic signs while traveling at speeds of more than double the 25 mph speed limit in the area, police Sgt. Rashad Hollis said earlier in the week.
