Authorities identify two killed in Contra Costa County crashes
Briefly

In Contra Costa County, two serious auto crashes resulted in fatalities earlier this month. Shelby Sherman, a 25-year-old from Martinez, was killed in a one-car accident on Interstate 680 on February 12, while a passenger sustained critical injuries. Earlier, on February 6, 68-year-old Weiming Shao, a Brentwood resident, died in a head-on collision on Vasco Road.

The California Highway Patrol reported that 25-year-old Shelby Sherman was killed in a one-car wreck on northbound Interstate 680, while a passenger was also critically injured.
Investigators are looking into the causes of a fatal head-on collision on Vasco Road that claimed the life of 68-year-old Weiming Shao as questions remain about why a Honda crossed the double-yellow lines.
In a separate incident, authorities revealed that a Dodge Caravan overturned on I-680, resulting in the death of Shelby Sherman, with investigations ongoing regarding potential contributing factors.
Authorities confirmed that in both crashes, further investigations are underway, including factors like drug or alcohol use, with some drivers and passengers miraculously escaping serious injuries.
