One Dead in Highway 37 Crash Near Sears Point

One person has died in a collision involving two big-rigs and at least five other vehicles on eastbound state Highway 37 Wednesday afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The crash occurred at 3:38 p.m. near Lakeville Highway, and is blocking both eastbound lanes of Highway 37.

There is no estimate for when the lanes will reopen, and CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said around 4 p.m. it would be several hours at least. One of the two big-rigs has double trailers, Barclay said.

Ambulances and a CHP helicopter were requested Wednesday afternoon.

As of 7:20 p.m., CHP logs indicated that the road remained closed.

“Eastbound 37 remains closed at Lakeville as officers clear vehicles and complete the investigation,” logs stated.
