Pickup Versus ATV Collision Near Elm Lane Kills 22-Year-Old Antioch Man

OAKLEY, CA (September 7, 2023) – Tuesday morning, an ATV crash on Neroly Road in Oakley left a man from Antioch with fatal injuries. 

The deadly collision happened shortly before 7:00 a.m. at the 5200 block of Neroly Road, near Elm Lane. 

Based on the initial investigation, a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle lost control while going southbound on Neroly. 

Subsequently, the ATV’s wheels entered a locked-wheel skid and veered into the northbound lanes. The ATV then hit the front-side corner of a pickup truck, ejecting the rider into a vineyard.

Unfortunately, the first responders declared the ATV rider dead at the scene. He was only identified as a 22-year-old man from Antioch. It was unclear if the pickup driver suffered injuries from the crash. 

In the end, authorities closed Neroly Road at Elm for several hours as Oakley police investigated the incident.

Authorities will release additional information as it becomes available to the public.
