On August 12, 2012, two people were killed in a three-car wrongful death crash at 1:20 a.m. in the early morning that sparked a car fire on Interstate Highway 680 at the Crow Canyon Road freeway off-ramp in San Ramon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A man was speeding when he caused an auto accident into a BMW convertible with a man and woman inside.
Both cars hit a large forklift and a pickup parked in a nearby Caltrans construction zone.

Two people were declared dead at the scene, and a third was taken to a hospital with major personal injuries, CHP reported.
After the fatal accident, at around 5:40 a.m., there was a second accident: A car passing through the lane closures struck a parked, empty Caltrans truck. No Caltrans workers were injured in either accident.
CHP says the driver in this second crash had minor personal injuries.
