Family of 4, including 2 kids, killed in Pleasanton crash on Foothill Road, police say

Pleasanton police said a crash Wednesday night killed a family of four, including two children.

Police said Thursday morning that one car was involved in the crash, which happened around 9 p.m. on Foothill Road near Stoneridge Drive. The road was closed until 7:20 a.m. Thursday.

The family has not yet been identified as police as still notifying next of kin, but police say they believe the two children killed were in elementary and middle school.

Police say they are unsure if speed was a factor in the crash, and don’t know if any alcohol was involved. Foul play is not suspected.

The family’s electric car reportedly caught fire after the crash and reignited a few times while investigators were clearing the scene.

“We are conducting a thorough investigation and do not have additional information at this point,” police said on social media. “We will release further details as they become available. For now, our priority is protecting the victims’ identities as we notify family and complete our investigation.”
