8 injured in Oakley crash OAKLEY Eight people were injured — one critically — in a three-vehicle crash on East Cypress Road, west of Bethel Island Road, in Oakley on the morning of Jan. 30, police said. A white Nissan Altima was seen driving eastbound at about 9:45 a.m. on East Cypress Road in the westbound direction, when it collided with a red Dodge Durango and a gray Chevy Tahoe, sending all three vehicles off the roadway, said Officer Steven Soares of the Oakley Police Department. One unidentified victim was flown to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, and seven other unidentified people were transported to various local hospitals by ambulance, said Robert Ruddick, an East Contra Costa Fire Protection District captain. Speed is believed to have been a factor in the crash, based on the amount of damage to the vehicles, but it was not immediately clear if drugs or alcohol were involved, Soares said. The crash shutdown East Cypress Road until about 3 p.m. All inbound (eastbound) traffic to Bethel Island or the Summer Lake community wasforced to use the following route: East Cypress to Jersey Island Road to Dutch Slough Road to Bethel Island Road. All outbound (leaving Bethel Island/Summer Lake Community) traffic was forced to use a land dam/levee at the end of Sandmound Boulevard. To comment, visit www.thepress.net
