A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning at the Carquinez Bridge Toll Plaza on Interstate 80 East in Vallejo, CA. The incident took place around 2:45 AM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.
Reports indicated that one vehicle was off the roadway and required a medium wrecker for recovery. Injuries were reported, leading to medical services being dispatched to Sutter Solano Hospital for treatment. Additionally, the guardrail was compromised, prompting a response from Caltrans for necessary repairs.
Emergency responders arrived promptly, and by 3:55 AM, the California Highway Patrol updated the incident status to indicate that an ambulance was en route. A tow truck was requested shortly after, as one vehicle, identified as a black Honda, was located approximately 50 feet off the roadway.
Caltrans was called to address the damaged guardrail, which was obstructing the far right lane. By 4:26 AM, it was confirmed that the guardrail had been moved off the roadway, allowing for repairs to be scheduled at a later time.
Medical personnel transported the injured individuals to Sutter Solano Hospital for further evaluation. The exact number of injuries and the condition of those involved have not been disclosed.
By 5:42 AM, the situation was stabilized, and units began clearing the scene. While one vehicle required towing, the status of the second vehicle involved in the collision remains unclear.
Motorists traveling through the Carquinez Bridge Toll Plaza should be aware of potential residual traffic delays as cleanup efforts were underway. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This collision serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while traveling, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
