Richmond, CA (March 18, 2022) – On Thursday, officers received reports of injuries in a big rig crash on Highway 580.

The traffic incident took place at about 11 a.m. on the freeway’s westbound lanes, east of Western Drive.

Apparently, the semi-truck jackknifed and blocked the highway’s left lanes.

If you are a driver, pay close attention to those around you. Always keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.

When driving, it is important to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road.

If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you see a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians.

Be a responsible driver to avoid accidents.
