Vehicle Collision Blocking Concord Blvd Near Bishop Estates

3 cars. Inbound side car was into the fence, outbound side car was into a tree with crushed drivers side, 3rd unknown damage. Car bits of car across all 4 lanes. Police had just got there
Very bad corner, Glazier at Concord Blvd. Speed limit on Concord Blvd is 35 mph. I physically heard the driver of Black Tesla say he was going 40-45 mph. If you are making a right hand turn from Glazier on to Concord Blvd and your line of sight is clear you should be ok, but if the on coming car is traveling above the speed limit they are out of your vision when you turn. Accident investigation should determine who was at fault. City traffic engineers and Concord PD need to make that road junction safer!
Having seen several, including a fatal accident at the junction of Glazier and Concord Blvd, it appears that the elderly couple in a van may have been on Glazier and pulled onto Concord Blvd, at which the black Tesla was speeding around the blind corner and nailed the van. Based on experience of 65 years of driving (I’m 80) and viewing the extent of damage to both vehicles,I would guess the Telsa was doing 50 mph which is the norm on Concord Blvd. Speed bumps were discussed on Glazier which at that meeting, there was talk that a stop light may in the future.
That just means that everyone will continue to cut across to Clayton rd. Disregarding its residential and there is a school cross walk everyone dismisses.
