Orinda, CA (January 2, 2026) – A two-vehicle crash involving a red pickup truck and a black sedan with a trailer caused multiple injuries and blocked all lanes on eastbound SR-24 just west of the Camino Pablo offramp early on Tuesday morning.

The incident was reported around 7:25 a.m., and according to the California Highway Patrol, both vehicles sustained significant damage, with airbags deployed and debris scattered across several lanes. One of the trailers involved reportedly broke apart, with the axle dislodged and blocking lanes 1 through 4.

Occupants were still inside the vehicles when first responders arrived. Emergency medical crews assessed and treated injured individuals at the scene, though the total number of people transported to hospitals has not yet been confirmed.

CHP and tow services were dispatched to manage the crash site and begin the cleanup operation. Traffic was severely impacted during the morning commute as responders worked to clear debris and safely remove the disabled vehicles.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation as officers collect evidence and witness accounts.

We extend our best wishes to all those injured and hope for a full and speedy recovery.
