The first fatality came in a T-bone crash at the intersection of W. 10th Street and Auto Center Drive in Antioch about 4:07 p.m. Killed in that collision was 30-year-old Thomas Coleman, of Pittsburg.

Antioch police in a statement said Coleman drove a blue Acura sedan and was going north toward downtown Antioch on Auto Center Drive, when he entered the intersection and hit a silver Lexus going west toward Pittsburg.

Coleman received treatment from medics but died at the scene. The Lexus driver and a passenger were hospitalized but police said they both will survive.

Later Sunday at about 11:55 p.m., a two-car crash on state Highway 4 in Hercules just east of Interstate 80 killed 54-year-old Sherelle Allen, of Antioch.

That crash marked the second fatal one on Highway 4 in 2024. It was the deadliest highway in Contra Costa County last year with 15 fatal crashes resulting in the death of 18 people.
