The second crash was in Napa, when a pedestrian on State Route 221 at Streblow Drive was hit by oncoming traffic around 5 a.m., the CHP said. The roadway reopened around 6:45 a.m.
The third crash took place in Byron, in Contra Costa County, around 6 a.m., according to the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. The collision on Vasco Road near Walnut Boulevard killed one person, injured two and caused major damage to two vehicles, Battalion Chief Gil Guerrero said.
