RICHMOND, Calif. (KRON) — Several big rigs, including a Walmart truck, were flipped over on the Richmond-San Rafael bridge due to wind on Tuesday afternoon, and it caused closures in the area, according to the San Rafael Police Department.
The eastbound side of Interstate 580 thru the Richmond-San Rafael bridge will remain closed until the overturned trucks can be moved after the wind dies down, SRPD says. Drivers are asked to use State Route 37 or the Bay Bridge as alternate routes.
Units with the California Highway Patrol faced delays in getting to the wreck due to the traffic buildup after the accident, per traffic logs. CHP has now issued a wind advisory for the bridge, and drivers are asked to keep all high-profile vehicles off of bridges at this time.
Toolboxes spilled out of one of the vehicles and hit another, according to a report in the traffic log. By 2: 16 p.m., CHP reported that all lanes were still closed after the accident.
