Dubois was located at his residence in the 700 block of Market Avenue in Richmond at 1:50 p.m., along with a car that matched the vehicle involved in the incident. Police said the vehicle had damage that was consistent with being involved in the collision.

Alcohol and drug use has not been ruled out as contributing factors for the crash, according to police.

Anyone with information on the collision is asked to contact the San Pablo Police Investigations Division at (510) 215-3150.
