BLACKHAWK – A driver was airlifted to a local trauma center Friday night after a solo vehicle collision into a tree resulted in major injuries.

According to Sgt. Rashid of the CHP Dublin Office, at 11:27 Friday night, officers were dispatched to a report of a car vs. tree collision on Camino Tassajara near Blackhawk Drive.

When officers arrived, firefighter paramedics with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District and deputies with the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office were at the scene.
