All lanes of northbound Interstate Highway 680 remain closed just outside of the Fremont city limits in unincorporated Alameda County due to a collision involving two big rigs that has led to an extended hazmat cleanup of gasoline Monday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The clean-up involves a fuel leak of more than 3,800 gallons of gasoline that spilled after one big rig collided with another around 1:48 a.m. near Vargas Road, according to CHP Officer Tyler Hahn. The first big rig collided into the center divide and jackknifed, and was then struck by the other rig seconds later.

All traffic is being diverted off the freeway with a hard closure at North Mission Boulevard and there remains no estimated time of reopening, Hahn said. Caltrans crews were on the scene as of 6 a.m. It was starting to rain at the scene as of 6:15 a.m.

Minor injuries were reported and it is suggested for commuters to take Interstate Highway 880 as an alternate route.
