(KRON) — Two men were arrested on June 25 for unrelated deadly car crashes dating back to 2022 and 2023, the Vallejo Police Department announced Friday.
Arrest warrants were issued after both cases were recently reviewed by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office. The first fatal crash happened on Nov. 26, 2023, at approximately 12:36 a.m.
“Officers responded to a report of a serious injury collision near Broadway Street and Sereno Drive,” Vallejo PD said. “They located two vehicles that had collided north of the intersection. A single adult occupied the first vehicle, while the second vehicle was occupied with three adults. Tragically, a passenger from the second vehicle succumbed to the injuries sustained in the collision.”

“Driving under the influence and reckless driving are not only dangerous; they are criminal acts that can cost lives and lead to serious prison time,” Sgt. Lenard Alamon of the Vallejo Police Department’s Traffic Division said in a press release. “We urge every driver to make responsible choices and help us keep Vallejo’s roads safe by reporting unsafe behavior when they see it.”
