Fairfield, CA : 18-year-old San Pablo woman killed after her disabled car was hit by an alleged drunk driver on Interstate 80 in Fairfield on Saturday night, March 26, 2016
An 18-year-old San Pablo woman was killed Saturday night when a drunken driver careened into her disabled car on the shoulder of Interstate 80 in Fairfield, authorities said.
Investigators with the California Highway Patrol reported that Marc Crawley, 46, of Suisun City lost control of his 1968 Ford Mustang shortly before 8 p.m. on eastbound I-80 and collided with a disabled car along the highway, pushing it into two people standing in front of it.
The 18-year-old, whose identity was not immediately released, was flown to UC Davis Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. The second victim, a 34-year-old Fairfield man, was taken to North Bay Medical Center in Fairfield and was reported to have suffered major injuries.
Crawley’s vehicle, after hitting the disabled car, continued out of control across all lanes of traffic, investigators said. It came to a stop after crashing into the center median.
The entire freeway was shut down for two hours to clean up the wreckage.
Crawley was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence of alcohol.
