Walnut Creek, CA : Horrific fatal I-680 accident in Walnut Creek on Friday, 25th October 2024

A terrible fatal crash involving three vehicles on northbound Interstate 680 in Walnut Creek Friday morning closed lanes in both directions, causing major traffic back-ups in the East Bay.

CHP initially reported the major injury collision at around 6 a.m. Friday in the northbound lanes of I-680 just before the Rudgear Rd. exit. The crash scene was large enough that it closed the 1-3 northbound lanes of I-680 and the #1 southbound lane of the freeway, bringing traffic to a near standstill in both directions for a time.

By around 7:21 a.m., all southbound lanes had reopened, though heavy southbound traffic persisted through the area as late as 9 a.m.

The northbound lanes took far longer to clear. A photo shared on social media by the Contra Costa County office of the CHP showed at least one of the vehicles involved on its side.
