A Vacaville Fire Department ambulance was involved in a crash with a motorcyclist on Wednesday, Solano NewsNet has learned.
The crash was reported just after 3 p.m. along the westbound lanes of Interstate 80 near Alamo Drive, according to emergency dispatch traffic.
The motorcyclist was not injured in the crash, though it was unclear if anyone else was hurt. The ambulance left the scene en route to a local hospital.
The number one lane of the freeway, commonly referred to as the “fast lane” was blocked while Vacaville fire personnel and CHP investigated the scene.
No other information about the crash was immediately available.
The area where the crash occurred on Wednesday is part of a multi-mile project along Interstate 80 to widen and add lanes on the freeway in anticipation of the installation and activation of FasTrak toll lanes. Those toll lanes are expected to be operational later this year.
