A 44-year-old woman died early Saturday morning near Brentwood after an East Palo Alto woman driving an Acura SUV crossed over the double yellow line and collided head-on into her vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Contra Costa County office.
Officers responded to a report of a head-on collision on Vasco Road, just south of Camino Diablo at around 3:05 a.m.
According to the CHP, the East Palo Alto woman was traveling south when, for unknown reasons, she veered to the left and into the north lane directly in the path of the woman’s Nissan sedan. The 44-year-old woman died at the scene. She was identified by the Contra Costa County coroner’s office as Discovery Bay resident Tina Ha.
The East Palo Alto driver sustained major injuries and was transported to John Muir Walnut Creek Medical Center.
As of Saturday, the agency did not know whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision, which remains under investigation.
The identity of the woman killed in the collision has not been released.
Anyone with information about the collision can call CHP in Martinez at 925-646-4980.
