A traffic collision on Interstate 680 North in Benicia, CA, caused significant delays during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Honda HRV, which remained drivable, and another vehicle that was non-drivable and required towing.
Initially, the collision blocked all lanes, leading to substantial congestion for motorists. Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene and facilitate traffic control. Tow services were called to assist in clearing the roadway and restoring normal traffic flow.
As the situation unfolded, a SigAlert was issued to inform drivers of the ongoing traffic incident. By late morning, emergency crews successfully cleared the blockage, allowing for the gradual reopening of lanes.
At approximately 12:08 PM, all lanes on Interstate 680 North were confirmed to be open, alleviating the traffic backup that had formed earlier in the day. The California Department of Transportation also coordinated efforts to ensure the roadway was safe for travel.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and attentive as traffic conditions normalize following the incident.
