By Rick Hurd Contra Costa Times POSTED: 09/04/2014 11:07:54 AM PDT0 COMMENTS UPDATED: 09/04/2014 11:30:27 AM PDT ALAMO -- A man who died after he was trapped in a burning vehicle over the weekend has been identied as an Alamo man.

The California Highway Patrol said 60-year-old Michael Sevenau died after the silver 2000 Jaguar he was driving went off the road, hit a tree and caught fire. The wreck happened just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

An investigation showed the Jaguar was traveling east on Stone Valley Road and wound up in the west side of the road before colliding first with some mailboxes, CHP Officer John Fransen said.

The Jaguar then spun around, broke through a wooden fence and down a dirt embankment before hitting the tree. Police are still investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the wreck.
Investigators have not yet determined if Sevenau suffered a medical issue while he was behind the wheel. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Contact Rick Hurd at 925-945-4789 and follow him at Twitter.com/3rderh

Springville • Police on Saturday night said a couple and their three children were found dead in a home here.

The names of the deceased were not immediately released. The home, a duplex, is near 900 S. 1000 East in Springville.The residents on the other half of the duplex were unharmed.

Springville police Lt. David Caron said a medical examiner will determine what killed the family.

"Right now there’s no known cause of death," Caron said at a 9:45 p.m. press conference in front of the duplex. "There’s nothing obvious."

Caron said firefighters tested the air and did not find any carbon monoxide, but the gas could have ventilated before the test.

"This time of year, it’s obviously something we’re concerned with," Caron said of the possibility of carbon monoxide.

The parents were ages 36 and 37, Caron said. Two boys were ages 14 and 11 and a girl was 12.

Another relative spoke to family on Saturday morning, Caron said. When that relative went to the house shortly before 8 p.m., the family was dead. That relative called police.

Springville is on the southern half of Utah County. The county’s bedroom communities have been the scenes of unusual deaths and grisly discoveries this year.
