Woman Dies After Crash on Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek

Walnut Creek, CA (August 1, 2024) – On Thursday, an 18-year-old woman died, and a passenger sustained injuries in a crash on Ygnacio Valley Road.

The fatal crash on Ygnacio Valley Road resulted in the closure of a stretch of the road in both directions for most of Thursday, impacting traffic likely into the evening commute. Police announced at 2:25 p.m. that the road would remain closed “until further notice.”

According to police, the accident occurred around 1:05 a.m. between Civic Drive and North Broadway, closing about a one-mile stretch of the road.

The woman, who was ejected from the vehicle, died at the scene, according to Walnut Creek police Lt. Jeff Slater. Authorities withheld her identity pending notification of her relatives.

PG&E workers were called to replace the power pole, a process expected to take all of Thursday.

The crash also caused a power outage affecting about 3,200 PG&E customers in the nearby areas. The utility anticipated restoring power to all customers by 8 p.m.

Ygnacio Valley Road is a crucial route for commuters traveling from central Contra Costa County to eastern Contra Costa County, offering an alternative to state Highway 242 or Highway 4.

Sweet Lawyers extend our heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of the deceased. May the bereaved find solace and strength in this extremely trying time.
