SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) -- California Highway Patrol in San Jose released details about a deadly crash that shut down I-680 on Sunday.

People began reporting a driver speeding in the wrong direction on southbound I-680 at McKee Rd around 5:08 a.m. Shortly after, witnesses reported a multi-vehicle collision in the same area, CHP said.

Officers responded and closed off all southbound lanes to investigate the crash.

According to the CHP investigation, a driver was going north in the southbound lane when it crashed into another car. The second car then spun out of control and was struck by a third car.
