A two-car head-on crash in eastern Contra Costa County last month killed a Stockton woman and a two-car freeway crash in the western part of the county killed an elderly San Francisco resident, authorities said.
The two wrecks happened three days apart, and authorities held off identifying the two until relatives were notified.
