Fremont, CA : 1 dead in multi-vehicle collision on Highway 680 in Fremont on Thursday, 18th July 2024

At least one person died in a multiple-vehicle collision on southbound Interstate Highway 680 in Fremont on Thursday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP said that around 7:05 a.m., its officers learned about a crash involving six vehicles, including a jackknifed big rig, on the highway's southbound lanes just north of the Mission Boulevard South off-ramp.

CHP Officer Tyler Hahn said traffic slowed down but the driver of the big-rig hauling a load of meat could not stop it in time and crashed into the rear of a Toyota Venza.

The big-rig then hit three other vehicles and went down an embankment on the right hand shoulder of the highway, Hahn said.
