PLEASANTON — Authorities have identified the man who died in a crash on Interstate 680 here last month, a collision that led to the suspected driver’s arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.
Jamari Ross, of San Lorenzo, was killed after a Mercedes Benz flipped over a cement barrier on Interstate 680 around 5:45 a.m. on Sept. 10, police said. Ross was ejected from the car and died at the scene of the crash.
The suspected driver, a Stockton woman, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after she admitted to being the driver and agreed to a blood/alcohol level test, which registered at nearly 50 percent higher than the legal limit, police said. She allegedly told investigators she drank tequila hours earlier at a club in San Jose before heading to Stockton with Ross.
The woman was released from police custody and has not been charged, but the incident remains under investigation, police said.
