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, an officer said.
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-lighted 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.
