Crashes on the freeway near Weber Road that involved 11 vehicles tied up rush hour traffic Thursday evening.

Three crashes happened at 4:45pm on State Highway 358 near Weber Road and fortunately, no injuries were reported. The first crash involved five vehicles. A 41-year-old man drove a white 1995 Ford F-250 with a green trailer east on State Highway 358. The traffic slowed and the truck struck a tan 2002 Lincoln Towncar driven by a 70-year-old woman. The Lincoln then struck a black 2008 Mazda, and then a blue 2013 Hyundai Accent. The 41-year-old man received a citation for failing to control speed.

The second crash happened as a 40-year-old woman stopped her gray 1993 Chevy Suburban to avoid a collision with the first vehicle crash which happened in front of her. An unknown vehicle struck the Suburban and then left the scene. Police are now looking for any information about the vehicle that struck the Suburban and a Hit & Run investigation has begun for that second crash.

The third vehicle crash happened as a 46-year-old man stopped his black 2010 Mazda for the stopped traffic for the previous two crashes. The Mazda was struck from behind by a white 1999 Ford E-150 van driven by a 61-year-old man. The Mazda then struck a black GMC Sierra and then a red 2007 Ford F-150. The 61-year-old man received a citation for failing to control speed, expired vehicle registration, driving with an expired driver license, and for no insurance.

The freeway was re-opened for normal use a little after 6:00pm.
