A traffic collision on northbound Interstate 680 (I-680) at Stone Valley in Walnut Creek, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 1:38 PM, involved three vehicles: a white pickup truck, a Toyota Tundra, and a blue van.
As emergency response units arrived, the northbound lanes 1 and 2 were closed to allow for an investigation, while the southbound lanes remained open. Traffic management teams were deployed to control the flow of vehicles and mitigate congestion in the area. Motorists are advised to expect delays and possible backups as crews work to clear the scene.
The collision was reportedly triggered by a tire bouncing onto the roadway, leading to the involvement of the three vehicles. A tow truck was requested for both the blue van and the Toyota Tundra, which were located on the northbound and southbound sides, respectively.
As of 3:31 PM, all southbound lanes were cleared, but the northbound lanes remain closed for ongoing investigation and cleanup efforts. Drivers in the area should seek alternative routes to avoid delays during this time.
