All lanes of eastbound Interstate Highway 80 in Emeryville have reopened following a vehicle fire and oil spill overnight, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Eastbound lanes were shut down for a time.

The collision was reported on eastbound Interstate Highway 80, just after Powell Street, shortly before 1 a.m., according to the CHP.

Video shows a fiery ball of flames on the roadway.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
