One Injured in Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-80 Westbound
According to Contra Costa County Fire, a series of crashes involving two cars and a big rig occurred on I-80 Westbound in Rodeo Saturday night. The initial crash happened just before the Willow Avenue off-ramp when one driver crashed into an unoccupied car.
When fire fighters arrived, both cars were fully engulfed in flames. Because a gasoline tanker was also involved in the crash, there were worries of fuel leakage.
Fire crews assessed the situation and found that the tanker was only leaking fuel from a 100 gallon saddle tank which posed no greater threat.
There was one moderately injured individual who was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
Several lanes were closed as Caltrans assessed damage to the freeway but have since been reopened as of 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation by local law enforcement agencies.
