PLEASANTON – The California Highway Patrol arrested a person on suspicion of drunken driving Sunday morning after a car collided with a truck on Interstate Highway 680 and killed one person. 

Preliminary reports indicate that a medium-sized, delivery truck was parked on the shoulder of the highway when it was struck by a Honda compact, apparently traveling at high speed, at 1 a.m. on southbound I-680 near Sunol Boulevard. 

“They got the car that was crunched into a tight ball onto a flat bed,” reported on eyewitness, who also said that a body was lying behind the truck on the ground. 

The California Highway Patrol had been working to extricate the driver of the Honda before making an arrest for suspicion of drunken driving at 3:25 a.m.
