Vasco Road closed due to fog and crashes; firefighter hurt
The California Highway Patrol reported that due to multiple crashes and heavy fog, both directions of Vasco Road between Livermore and Brentwood were shut down on Friday afternoon. During the incident, a fire captain was hit by a vehicle at one of the crash sites, resulting in a lower extremity injury. The fire captain's condition was not immediately confirmed. There were no details on other potential injuries, and motorists were advised to avoid the area and drive cautiously in the fog. The CHP announced the road closure at 2:45 p.m., and by 4 p.m., the road was reopened. Persistent tule fog has been affecting the East Bay valleys for the past couple of weeks and may continue into the weekend. Although the latest dense fog advisory had ended on Friday morning, it might need to be reissued early Saturday for inland valleys and the coast, according to the National Weather Service. Motorists in the Livermore area were redirected to take alternative routes during the closure. This is a developing news story; more details will be provided as they become available.
