Causeway crashes snarl Friday commute

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer

Vehicle crashes snarled traffic in both directions Friday morning on the Yolo Causeway, with one side shut down at one point for emergency repairs.

According to the California Highway Patrol’s traffic information website, a bigrig was traveling eastbound when its front end struck and jumped over the center divide at about 4:40 a.m., blocking lanes in both directions as it straddled the barrier.

Witnesses reported that the truck’s cab caught fire following the crash with the driver still inside, but no injuries were reported.

Broken pieces of the center divide also complicated travel through the area, with at least one motorist reporting damage to his vehicle.

The CHP shut down the westbound lanes to repair the damage and remove spilled fuel from the roadway, with an estimated reopening time of about 10 a.m.

Another collision between a big-rig and a Saab occurred shortly before 8 a.m. on westbound I-80 near the Enterprise Boulevard exit. The impact caused the vehicles to be stuck together, but no one was hurt.

According to the CHP website, the Saab’s driver “thinks (the) semi hit her on purpose because she changed lanes in front of him in a small space. … When she pulled in front of the semi she honked and thinks by law the semi should be required to stop.” those entering K-2 and 3-5 available.
