Martinez, CA : Jawad Tawasha Jr., died in fatal crash on Highway 4 on Saturday, November 26, 2016

A crash in wet conditions late Saturday on Highway 4 claimed the life of an 18-year-old man, a California Highway Patrol official said Monday.

Jawad Tawasha Jr., of Martinez, died after crashing a 2006 Dodge into the eastbound center guard rail just east of Alhambra Avenue. His car was then hit by a Honda moments later, CHP spokesman Officer Brandon Correia said. The CHP originally reported the 11:10 p.m. wreck involved only Tawasha's car.

A 63-year-old man drove the Honda that collided with the Dodge and was treated for moderate injuries at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. He did not appear to be drinking or impaired by drugs, and police did not make any arrests, Correia said.

The rainy conditions may have been a factor in the Dodge losing control and in the subsequent collision, Correia said.
