All lanes of Interstate 680 in Sunol are open Thursday evening, hours after a dump truck overturned on on the freeway, leading to blocked lanes in both directions.

According to CHP, the crash happened just after 9:30 a.m. as the dump truck traveling northbound on I-680 crashed over the median near Andrade Road, spilling the dirt it was moving on both sides of the freeway. There were no reports of any injuries or any other vehicles involved in the crash.

The CHP Dublin office posted photos showing the cab of the truck on one side of the barrier and part of the trailer that was transporting the dirt on the other.
