Car Crash on Highway 4 Results in the Death of Ricardo Escobar

A heartbreaking accident took place last week on Highway 4, tragically resulting in the death of 76-year-old Ricardo Escobar. According to the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office, the incident occurred at approximately 7:35 p.m. near the Somersville Road off-ramp in Antioch, California.

Authorities reported that Ricardo Escobar was fatally struck by two vehicles while walking on the highway. Despite the swift response of emergency personnel, Escobar succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The exact circumstances leading up to the accident remain under investigation, as officials continue to piece together information from witnesses and evidence collected nearby.

Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately not uncommon on California highways, where heavy evening traffic and limited visibility can create hazardous conditions for those traveling on foot.
