Woodland, CA (May 8, 2026) – Several people were hurt Thursday morning in a multi-vehicle collision on eastbound Interstate 80 at the Yolo Causeway midspan near Woodland. Emergency responders were sent out at approximately 4:44 a.m. On May 7, after reports emerged of a multi-vehicle collision, California Highway Patrol logs indicated that several cars were involved in the crash, with all lanes initially blocked. Initial reports suggested that a minimum of three vehicles were involved in the incident, with injuries reported at the scene. Later updates indicated that traffic came to a complete halt as emergency crews arrived and evaluated the scene. Response teams worked through the early morning to clear the road and remove the damaged vehicles. Several lanes were progressively reopened, with the roadway fully cleared later that morning following towing and cleanup efforts. Information regarding the number of injuries and their severity has not yet been disclosed. Initial reports also noted substantial vehicle damage and major traffic backups during the emergency response. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the collision, and additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Our thoughts are with those injured as they recover.
