Vallejo, CA (Nov 3, 2025) – A fatal crash occurred yesterday evening on Interstate 780 East near the 2nd Street off-ramp in Vallejo, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The accident took place around 8:34 p.m. when CHP officers responded to reports of a crash involving a vehicle in the eastbound lanes of I-780, just west of 2nd Street. A sigalert was issued shortly after, as the #2 lane was closed to allow emergency response and investigation.
While CHP did not provide specific details on the vehicles involved, authorities confirmed that one person was killed in the crash. The Coroner was dispatched to the scene for further investigation.
Tow services from RandR Tow and Arrowhead Tow were called to remove the wreckage. The accident caused significant traffic delays in the area, with temporary lane blockages.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and the identities of those involved have not been released.
Our condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the individual who lost their life in this tragic accident.
Fatal Car Accidents in California: Know Your Legal Rights
Fatal car accidents, like the one on I-780, can leave families devastated. California law allows surviving family members to pursue wrongful death claims to recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, medical bills, and emotional pain caused by the death of a loved one.
In crashes like this, it’s essential to consult an experienced California wrongful death attorney, especially if the crash involves negligence, improper road conditions, or vehicle defects.
California law gives families two years from the date of the accident to file a wrongful death lawsuit, though acting quickly ensures important evidence is preserved, including CHP reports, witness statements, and traffic camera footage.
