We would like to share our comfort with the friends and family of Miss Abigail Garcia during their time of grief.

The Dodge driver was unable to avoid the Infiniti, resulting in a serious collision.

An ambulance was needed at the scene to render emergency aid. Paramedics transported three parties in the Dodge to a hospital for treatment of injuries reported as minor. Unfortunately, the driver of the Infiniti was pronounced deceased by emergency personnel due to the severity of their sustained injuries.

What Caused the Accident?
The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the Livermore Police Department. Authorities have not yet indicated whether alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor in the crash.
