Family of four killed in Pleasanton crash [Video]

A family of four was killed in a fiery crash in Pleasanton on Wednesday night, authorities confirmed.

The single-car crash was reported around 9 p.m. on Foothill Road near Stoneridge Drive.

Authorities said the electric vehicle was carrying four people when it crashed into a tree and caught fire. All the occupants — a mother and father and their two children, died.

The two children were students within the Pleasanton Unified School District, though district officials would not confirm which schools the young victims attended.

“We’re aware that any loss of life, especially when it involves an entire family, has an impact on students and staff and parents and guardians,” said district spokesperson Patrick Gannon.

Gannon said the entire school district community is devastated.

Investigators are probing if speed was a factor in the crash.

At the crash site, a metal pole was knocked down alongside what appeared to be charred soil.
