DANVILLE, Calif. -- All lanes on northbound I-680 in Danville have reopened following a three-vehicle collision that left a CHP officer with serious injuries.

Officer Peter Van Eckhardt said officers responded to a report of a three-vehicle collision at 5:20 p.m. on I-680 near the Crow Canyon Road off-ramp.

Van Eckhardt said the officer, who was riding a motorcycle, was involved in the crash with a white van and a third vehicle.

The CHP held traffic on all northbound lanes to allow the helicopter to land. One lane reopened shortly thereafter, and all lanes reopened at 7:45 p.m.

The officer was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.
