A traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 880 near the Mowry Avenue off-ramp in Fremont, CA, involving two vehicles: a white Chevrolet Camaro and a black Acura. The incident took place at approximately 5:20 PM when the driver of the black Acura, reportedly feeling drowsy, rear-ended the white Camaro.
The collision rendered the black Acura undriveable, while the white Camaro sustained significant damage. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to the driver of the black Acura. However, concerns were raised regarding individuals outside the white Camaro, including a teenager, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
Traffic flow was affected as the vehicles came to rest in the right slow lane, causing delays for motorists in the area. The California Highway Patrol responded promptly, with units arriving quickly to manage the situation and clear the scene shortly after the incident was reported.
Surveillance footage reviewed by the California Highway Patrol indicated some uncertainty regarding the exact positioning of the vehicles involved. The footage showed a black sedan on the right-hand side of the highway, but visibility of the white Camaro was limited. Later reports confirmed that a white vehicle was spotted south of the Thornton overpass, displaying signs of front-end damage.
By 5:44 PM, it was confirmed that individuals associated with the white Camaro were outside the vehicle. Emergency responders ensured that all parties were safe and assessed the situation thoroughly.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant while driving, especially when feeling fatigued. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the incident to gather further details surrounding the collision.
