A solo vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 680 at the Livorna Road off-ramp in Alamo, CA. The incident was reported around 2:03 AM and involved a Chevrolet Malibu, which sustained significant front-end damage and ended up approximately 10 feet up an embankment, rendering the vehicle non-drivable.
Emergency services responded promptly, with units arriving on the scene by 2:17 AM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. However, the incident caused damage to an electrical panel in the vicinity. Exposed wires and an electrical box were found on the ground, indicating potential hazards for motorists in the area.
A tow truck was requested to remove the damaged vehicle around 2:40 AM. The California Highway Patrol also notified the Department of Transportation Control Center at 2:50 AM to address the electrical issues resulting from the collision.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether the vehicle struck any barriers before coming to rest on the embankment. The area between the off-ramp lanes and the main line was examined for safety concerns, particularly regarding the damaged electrical panel, which may have been linked to carpool lane signs.
Motorists traveling on Interstate 680 should remain cautious in the area while repairs are being made. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to stay alert and report any hazardous conditions they may encounter on the road.
