The crash happened on westbound Interstate 80 about 1:30 a.m.
RICHMOND — A freeway crash between two big rigs early Tuesday backed up traffic for more than a mile during the the morning commute and left sugar spilled on the roadway, the California Highway Patrol said.
All but one lane of westbound Interstate 80 remained closed through 6:30 a.m. following the crash near the Portrero Avenue on-ramp, the CHP said. The wreck happened about 1:30 a.m. when one big rig collided into the back of another one, according to the CHP. The crash did cause one injury, the CHP said. The agency did not specify immediately how severe that injury was.
The CHP opened the far left lane to traffic about 3:05 a.m. but said at 4:45 a.m. that they expected the closure of the other lanes to last several hours. The collision left one of the big rigs stuck to the other one, the CHP said, and caused sugar to spill onto the freeway. Big-rig tow trucks were expected to move the trucks from the area, but the operation was expected to be complicated and could end up spilling more sugar onto the roadway, the CHP said.Related Articles
