SAN RAMON — A two-car crash that police said they believe to have been caused by driving under the influence killed a 41-year-old Castro Valley woman on Saturday.
In a statement, police said they arrested a 27-year-old Pleasanton man on suspicion of DUI causing injury. The wreck on Crow Canyon Road happened about 3:25 p.m. and involved a Ford Bronco and a Tesla Model 3. Police said they arrested the driver of the Tesla.
Authorities did not identify the woman who died immediately Monday, with police noting they were not identifying the victim “out of respect for the family’s privacy.” They said she was a passenger in the Ford Bronco.
Police did not release details about how the crash happened but said that the preliminary investigation showed it was caused by the Tesla driver. Police said they also suspect the person of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
Jail records indicated he remained in custody Monday morning at the Martinez Detention Facility in lieu of $300,000 bail.
The Ford Bronco’s driver went to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek by ambulance and was treated there before being released.
Police said they are still investigating what happened and asked anyone with information to contact them at 925-973-2779.
