Two people were killed and one critically injured in an early morning crash Thursday in San Pablo.
Police said they responded at 12:42 a.m. to a two-vehicle head-on collision on El Portal Drive near Glenlock Street.
Officers found a BMW with two adult occupants, a male and a female, and a Chevrolet Camaro with a single adult male occupant.
Emergency medical personnel and police initiated life-saving efforts for all involved parties, but the two people inside the BMW died at the scene.
The driver of the Camaro, a 20-year old Richmond man, was transported to a local hospital and was in critical condition at 10:54 a.m., police said.
Police said the preliminary investigation found the BMW was traveling eastbound on El Portal Drive when it sideswiped a truck traveling the same direction. The BMW subsequently veered into the westbound lane of El Portal, colliding head-on with the Camaro.
El Portal Drive between Glenlock and Fordham streets was temporarily closed as police investigated and was reopened at 9 a.m.
Police say they don't know yet if drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash. The identities of the involved parties are being withheld pending family notifications.
