Authorities have confirmed the identity of a woman who died at an area hospital after being involved in a two-vehicle crash along Vasco Road in unincorporated Livermore earlier this month.
The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau identified the decedent as Virginia Lynn Driscoll, 58, of Walnut Creek.
The collision occurred at approximately 11:20 p.m. May 7 at the intersection of northbound Vasco Road and Old Vasco Road in unincorporated Alameda County, California Highway Patrol Officer Tyler Hahn told the Pleasanton Weekly last week.
“The preliminary investigation indicates a Chevrolet Cobalt travelling north on Vasco Road collided with a GMC Canyon pick-up making a left from Old Vasco Road onto southbound Vasco Road,” Hahn said.
The sole occupant of the Cobalt – later identified as Driscoll – sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital, according to authorities. The coroner confirmed she was pronounced dead just after midnight on May 8.
The occupants of the Canyon were taken to a local hospital that night with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, according to Hahn.
The circumstances of the collision remain under CHP investigation, Hahn said.
KRON4 was the first to report initial details about the incident, but the fatal crash was not widely reported and no public press release was issued at the time.
