A man was killed and one person injured Tuesday night after three cars collided on eastbound Interstate 80 in Richmond, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson said.
Around 9:50 p.m., three vehicles were traveling on I-80 east when they collided just west of Carlson Boulevard, the CHP said. A man driving a Nissan Frontier pickup, who was about 65 years old, was killed. A person driving a Toyota RAV4 was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and the two occupants of a Lexus GS 350 were uninjured.
The collision shut down the freeway for about three hours, and traffic was diverted off to Carlson Boulevard. The freeway reopened at 12:53 a.m. Wednesday.
