62-Year-Old Security Guard Dies in Solo-Car Accident near Bixler Road
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (December 17, 2024) – Late Friday night, Rene Bucaro was fatally struck in a reckless collision on Balfour Road.
Dispatchers received calls around 11:56 p.m., near Bixler Road on December 7th.
CHP officers say the 17-year-old male driver of a newer model Hyundai Santa Cruz truck entered the intersection at high speeds and failed to slow down before slamming into a guard booth.
The guard booth was occupied by Bucaro and another guard, and they failed to react and get out in time.
Due to the impact of the crash, medics pronounced 62-year-old Bucaro dead at the scene.
In addition, the other guard suffered major injuries. Paramedics took the second guard and the teen driver to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
After the teen was released, he was arrested and taken to Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall where he faces a vehicular manslaughter charge.
Troopers added that the teen had a provisional license. Alcohol was not suspected as a factor to the crash, and no other updates were released.
