The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau has identified San Jose resident Matthew Tia, 33, as the man killed in a crash on northbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton just after 3 a.m. Saturday.
Tia was driving a 2005 Toyota Camry in the No. 3 lane of the freeway south of West Las Positas Boulevard overpass when, for unknown reasons, he made a turn that caused his car to drive across all lanes and hit the center divider wall, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Camry overturned as a result of the crash. Tia, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected onto the road and sustained fatal injuries at the scene. The car continued moving until coming to a rest on its roof within the center median, the CHP said.
The No. 1 lane of northbound I-680 was closed for about two hours while law enforcement officials investigated the crash.
CHP officials say the incident remains under investigation and that any witness should contact the Dublin CHP office at 828-0466.
Correction: DanvilleSanRamon.com previously used a Bay City News Service story on this fatal crash that contained erroneous information about the number of vehicles involved. The CHP confirmed Monday it was a solo-vehicle rollover crash. We regret the error.
