A six-vehicle crash involving two big rigs blocked all westbound lanes of Interstate 580 in Dublin on Tuesday night, causing major delays and prompting a hazardous materials cleanup that continued into Wednesday morning, the California Highway Patrol said.
The collision shut down westbound traffic of the freeway at San Ramon Road around 9 p.m. Tuesday, with CHP officers initially unable to estimate when lanes would reopen.
A photo released by the CHP showed a sedan wedged beneath a truck near an overpass. The semi-truck’s trailer appears angled across part of the roadway.
Hazmat crews remained at the scene as of Wednesday morning. The CHP said the vehicles involved had been cleared by then.
Despite the scale of the crash, the CHP reported only minor injuries. Drivers were advised to expect delays in the area while the cleanup continues.
