A blue GMC Envoy, occupied by one driver, was traveling westbound on Hwy 4 when it collided with the center divide, and continued on to collide with a light pole and a tree along the right shoulder. CHP and emergency personnel arrived on scene and the driver (adult male) was pronounced deceased.
The Contra Costa Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Heneli Halaliku, a 57-year-old male from Concord.
Our preliminary investigation indicates the GMC was traveling at a high rate of speed prior to the crash and the driver was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. This crash is still under investigation, if anyone witnessed it or the events leading up to it, please contact CHP Contra Costa in Martinez, (925) 646-4980.
