A 60-year-old man identified as John R. was killed after a deadly three-vehicle collision in Dublin on Friday morning, November 5, 2021.

The deadly wreck transpired at approximately 5:53 a.m. on the southbound Interstate Highway 680, just south of Alcosta Boulevard.

A Honda Civic reportedly sideswiped a semi-truck in the No. 4 slow lane. The Honda Civic then lost control and crossed all traffic lanes before crashing into a center divider wall.

It’s unclear whether other people were injured in the mishap. The California Highway Patrol is further investigating the case.
