All westbound lanes of Interstate Highway 80 in Fairfield have reopened Thursday following a closure caused by a big-rig that overturned and spilled its load of 15-20 crushed vehicles onto the highway, the California Highway Patrol said.
All lanes had reopened as of 5:25 p.m.
The overturned big-rig blocked all four westbound lanes of Highway 80 between Manuel Campos Parkway and Pena Adobe Road around 2:50 p.m., the CHP said.
Four vehicles that initially were reported to be involved in a collision were actually vehicles that had already been crushed in a compactor and loaded onto the big-rig, the CHP said.
