An injury motorcycle crash partially shut down westbound Interstate Highway 580 in Livermore for more than an hour Tuesday morning.

The crash was reported at 7:44 a.m. on westbound I-580 just west of Springtown Boulevard.

CHP Officer Kevin Kroncke said the motorcyclist may have rear-ended a truck. After the crash, he said, "the rider was in one lane and the motorcycle in the other."

A medical helicopter landed nearby at about 8:15 a.m. and airlifted the motorcyclist to a hospital.

Several westbound lanes were shut down while emergency crews dealt with the crash, and the roadway reopened at 8:55 a.m.
