A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound side of Interstate 680, near the Diablo Road off-ramp in Danville, CA. The incident took place around 8:15 PM and involved a blue BMW X3 and a silver Honda Pilot. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the collision.
The accident caused significant damage to both vehicles, with the BMW sustaining major front-end damage and the Honda suffering damage to its rear axle. Initially, the BMW was blocking lane number three, which led to some traffic disruptions in the area. Emergency services responded promptly, with multiple units arriving to assist and manage the situation.
By 8:18 PM, all vehicles had been moved to the right-hand shoulder, allowing for the reopening of the remaining lanes. Emergency responders worked efficiently, and by 8:42 PM, the scene was cleared, minimizing the impact on traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the BMW, which was likely to be towed due to the extent of its damage, while the Honda may have been drivable.
