PLEASANTON — Four people — a mother, father and two children under the age of 15 — were killed Wednesday night when the electric vehicle they were driving in crashed into a tree and caught fire, authorities said Thursday.

 

Their names and ages were not released, pending positive identification and notification of their next of kin. All four were pronounced deceased at the scene, authorities said.

The collision happened about 9 p.m. Wednesday on Foothill Road near Stoneridge Drive.

Livermore-Pleasanton Battalion Fire Chief Chris Jesberg said Thursday the four were in an electric passenger car that crashed into a tree and burst into flames.

He said passers-by were able to pull three of the occupants from the burning vehicle. Police on the scene gave emergency first aid, but all three were pronounced dead at the scene.

The fourth victim died inside the vehicle.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation Thursday.

Police said further details would be released as they become available. A news release Thursday morning said the department’s “priority is protecting the victims’ identities as we notify family and complete our investigation.”

A crash killed three teenagers and severely injured two others on Christmas Day 2019 on Foothill Road, about four miles south of the Wednesday night crash.
