A 57-year-old man died at a local hospital after his car crashed into a tree along Bollinger Canyon Road on Thursday night, according to San Ramon police.
Officers responded to a reported solo-vehicle crash on Bollinger Canyon Road just east of Talavera Drive (near Memorial Park and Bollinger Canyon Elementary School) around 10:40 p.m. Thursday and found a Chevrolet Camaro had struck a tree in the center median of Bollinger Canyon, police said.
San Ramon Valley Fire personnel had to use the “jaws of life” to remove the badly injured driver, who was the only occupant, according to police.
Once freed from the car, the man was transported to San Ramon Regional Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, according to police. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, police said. This marks the city of San Ramon’s first traffic fatality of 2018.
