A Caltrans contractor was involved in a crash along westbound Interstate 80 in West Sacramento early Monday morning.

The crash happened a little before 5 a.m. near the Reed Avenue offramp.

Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but several vehicles – including a water truck contracted by Caltrans – were involved.

Only minor injuries were reported, California Highway Patrol says.

I-80 had only reopened a little over an hour before the crash after an extended closure for construction over the weekend .

Traffic is now backing up through the Bryte Bend bridge into the Natomas area. Drivers should expect delays through the morning.
