All I-80 Lanes Back Open After Fiery Crash Near Vacaville
VACAVILLE (CBS13) - Interstate 80 was closed in both directions just west of Vacaville after a crash Tuesday morning.
The crash happened just before 6 a.m. along the westbound side of the freeway, near Cherry Glen Road, but both east and westbound traffic is affected.
California Highway Patrol's Solano division said a van rear-ended another vehicle near the Cherry Glen offramp. The van's engine compartment then caught fire.
The van was carrying compressed gasses that were flammable, prompting officers to shut down both sides of the freeway.
All eastbound lanes of traffic were reopened a little before 7 a.m. All westbound lanes were back open by 8 a.m.
No one was hurt in the crash, CHP says.
Expect significant traffic delays in the area through the morning.
