FIREFIGHTING FOAM STILL VISIBLE ON THE STREET WHERE FOUR MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY, INCLUDING CHILDREN, DIED IN A FIERY WRECK. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M KRISTEN SZE AND I'M DAN ASHLEY. >> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. A TRAGIC SCENE THAT'S GOING TO RIPPLE THROUGHOUT THE EAST BAY AND BEYOND. THIS DEADLY CRASH HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ON FOOTHILL ROAD, NOT FAR FROM STONE RIDGE MALL IN PLEASANTON. IT CLAIMED FOUR LIVES, INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN. >> ABC7 NEWS REPORTER ZACH FUENTES JOINS US LIVE FROM THE SCENE. ZACH, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? >> YEAH, IT'S JUST HEARTBREAKING. PLEASANTON PD ARE ONLY RELEASING SO MUCH INFORMATION RIGHT NOW AS THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE. BUT LIKE YOU SAID, WE KNOW IT WAS FOUR MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY. ANOTHER DRIVER REPORTED THIS ACCIDENT AROUND 9 P.M. LAST NIGHT AND POLICE ARE STILL WORKING TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. BUT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT SURE IF SPEED WAS A FACTOR, IF ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED OR ANY OTHER FOUL PLAY WAS INVOLVED. THE ROAD WAS CLOSED FOR HOURS. THE FAMILY WAS TRAVELING IN AN ELECTRIC CAR THAT KEPT REIGNITING WHILE INVESTIGATORS WERE WORKING TO CLEAR THE SCENE. THE CAR EVEN CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN ON THE TOW TRUCK. POLICE HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE MODEL OF THE CAR AS THE ACCIDENT CONTINUES TO BE INVESTIGATED. THE FOCUS NOW IS THE FAMILY OF FOUR AND THOSE WHO KNEW THEM. POLICE SAY THE CHILDREN INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WERE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AGED. THE PLEASANTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SAID THAT THE KIDS INVOLVED WERE STUDENTS AT THEIR SCHOOLS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO PUT IT, THE DISTRICT SAID. >> IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE EXTRA COUNSELING AND SUPPORT RESOURCES THROUGH AT LEAST TOMORROW. >> WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT THEM. >> PEOPLE WHO KNEW THE FAMILY BUT DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK ON CAMERA, HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE SCENE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. NOW BACK OUT HERE LIVE. THE ROAD REOPENED THIS MORNING AT 720. THAT IS MORE THAN TEN HOURS AFTER THE CRASH HAPPENED BECAUSE LIKE WE SAID, INVESTIGATORS HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CLEARING THE SCENE. NOW PLEASANTON PD ARE WAITING TO RELEASE THE IDENTITY OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY'RE WAITING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH NEXT OF KIN. BUT WE'VE SEEN JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING THROUGH HERE NOW AS THEY'RE FINDING OUT THE NEWS, LOOKING AT THE SCENE, ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO HEARTBREAKING.
