A multi-vehicle collision occurred this evening on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 at the Interstate 780 interchange in Vallejo, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a black sedan, a silver truck, and a silver Scion. The crash was reported at approximately 8:12 PM, and fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
Witnesses noted visibility issues and debris scattered across the roadway immediately following the collision. By 8:18 PM, the silver Scion became lodged under a tire from the accident, complicating the situation further. Emergency services were dispatched promptly and arrived on the scene by 8:35 PM to manage the incident and ensure the safety of all motorists.
Traffic was significantly impacted during the incident, with the right-hand slow lane blocked due to the vehicles and debris. Emergency responders worked diligently to clear the area, and by 9:12 PM, the scene was successfully cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
The black sedan and silver truck were assessed and determined to be drivable, while the silver Scion required towing due to the tire being stuck underneath it. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Scion.
In a related note, a white Tesla Model S was reportedly struck by one of the tires from the collision, although the driver of the Tesla was not present at the scene and indicated they would file a report later.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant, especially in conditions where visibility may be compromised. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to drive cautiously and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
