Westbound I-580 Clear After CHP Crash Blocks Lanes

LIVERMORE (CBS SF) -- All lanes of Interstate Highway 580 in Livermore have been cleared after a crash involving a California Highway Patrol car blocked a portion of the roadway for nearly two hours Sunday morning.

The crash was first reported at about 9:25 a.m. on westbound Highway 580 near Greenville Road, CHP Officer James Evans said.

Preliminary information indicated that a CHP officer and an SUV had pulled over when a passing vehicle struck the two vehicles that were stopped on the shoulder, Evans said.

At least one person suffered major injuries and was life-flighted from the scene in a medical helicopter, Evans said.

The CHP officer was not injured.

Two right lanes remained blocked until about 11:10 a.m.

The crash remains under investigation by the CHP.
