A tanker truck spun out on East State Route 24 near the Gateway Boulevard off-ramp in Orinda, California, today, resulting in a traffic collision that temporarily blocked multiple lanes. The incident occurred at approximately 8:04 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
The tanker truck was reported to be facing the wrong way on the embankment, leading to the request for a tow truck to assist with its recovery. While the exact number of vehicles involved remains unclear, at least one vehicle, the tanker, was confirmed to be part of the incident.
Traffic was significantly impacted as lanes three and four were temporarily blocked to facilitate the tow truck's operation. By 9:57 AM, traffic appeared to be light, but motorists were advised to exercise caution due to the blind curve in the area.
As recovery efforts continued, the blockage shifted to lanes two, three, and four. Fortunately, no injuries were reported at the scene, although the status of any potential injuries remains unknown.
Motorists traveling on East State Route 24 should remain vigilant for possible delays and exercise caution while navigating the area as the situation is resolved.
