One person died in an early morning crash on northbound I680 at Bernal Avenue Saturday, closing all northbound lanes initially and then for several hours as officials investigated the cause of the collision.
Police were made aware of the crash at 5:46 a.m. when callers first began contacting dispatchers with news of a significant debris field in the area and, minutes later, of a body on the freeway.
An off-duty law enforcement officer confirmed the fatality and a SigAlert was issued at 6:09 a.m.
The name of the deceased nor any details of the events leading up to the collision have not been released.
