On March 14, 2025, a multi-vehicle crash occurred on eastbound Highway 24 near Wilder Road in Orinda, California, involving five vehicles. The collision took place at approximately 8:27 a.m., leading to the blockage of all eastbound lanes by 8:56 a.m. This necessitated a diversion of traffic to the Wilder Road offramp. As a result, the highway remained closed until shortly after 11:30 a.m., causing significant traffic delays in the area. Even after the lanes were reopened, drivers were advised to expect residual delays due to the earlier disruption.
