The CHP said the woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was ejected and died at the scene. The male driver was taken to a hospital with major injuries. 

It didn’t appear that either of the vehicle’s occupants were wearing seatbelts, the CHP said.  

The three right-hand lanes of northbound I-680 were still closed at 11:50 a.m. and a CHP spokesperson said there was no estimated time of reopening. 

At around 1:20 p.m., only the far right lane remained closed, according to CHP. A half an hour later, all lanes had reopened.

Marina Vista remained open during the incident for drivers wanting to take side roads to get to Martinez.
