Interstate Highway 680 has fully reopened in Walnut Creek this afternoon after a 10-car crash sent five people to hospitals and blocked northbound lanes, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
Northbound Highway 680 at Ygnacio Valley Road was cleared around 4:05 p.m., CHP Officer John Fransen said.
The crash happened around 3 p.m. on northbound Highway 680 at the Ygnacio Valley Road exit and involved 10 vehicles, reportedly trapping one person inside, according to the CHP.
Fransen said five people were injured in the collision but he did not know the extent of their injuries.
The crash shut down four northbound lanes and snarled traffic in the area.
Investigators do not believe that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash but said that wet roadways may have been a factor, according to Fransen.
"We ask that motorists exercise due caution, slow down a bit and make sure they have a good space cushion between them and the person in front of them," he said.
