Ca,Contra Costa County,Concord

A YouTuber from Concord gave investigators all the evidence they needed before convicting him last month of multiple incidents of extreme speeding and reckless driving on Contra Costa County freeways.

The California Highway Patrol received public complaints about a gray BMW speeding and driving recklessly on Interstate 680 between Contra Costa and Solano counties in late spring 2022. Investigators discovered the driver's identity through his YouTube channel.

The CHP officer tried pulling Kitfield over as he turned around at a dead end. The DA's office said Kitfield led the CHP officers on a chase before finally stopping his car and surrendering. CHP investigators recovered Kitfield's computer and the dash camera he used to create videos for his YouTube channel. The devices contained several more videos of him driving recklessly.
