-Authorities have identified the second of two people killed early Sunday in a chain-reaction crash on Interstate 680.
Brandon Rosevear, 18, of Concord, was identified as the driver of a Nissan Maxima that clipped the backside of a BMW while driving southbound on I-680 just south of Crow Canyon Road at 1:22 a.m., according to the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office.
The passenger of the silver BMW was identified yesterday as Mehrdad Emami, 46, of San Ramon. The driver of the BMW, an unidentified 40-year-old woman from San Ramon, was hospitalized with major injuries, the CHP said.
How or why the young driver hit the rear bumper of the BMW was still under investigation, the CHP said, but the collision caused both cars to spin and rotate out of control.
The BMW spun into a coned-off construction area, striking with its passenger's side the rear of an unoccupied Ford F-150 supervisor pickup truck, the CHP said. The Nissan Maxima also spun into a construction area ahead of the BMW, striking the forklift on the driver's side, catching fire and becoming engulfed in flames with Rosevear inside.
A man who said he was the forklift operator contacted this newspaper Monday morning and said the 36,000-pound forklift stopped the Maxima in its tracks and prevented at least four other workers from being struck.
The forklift operator and police both used the incident to renew calls for driver awareness of construction zones.
