A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred this morning at the intersection of State Route 238 and Mattox Road in Hayward, CA, involving three vehicles: a beige Toyota Camry, a white Chevrolet Volt, and a gray Dodge pickup truck. The incident took place at approximately 6:44 AM, causing significant traffic disruptions in the area.
The white Chevrolet Volt sustained major front-end damage and was left blocking the middle lanes of the roadway. Emergency services responded promptly, with fire units arriving on the scene just three minutes later at 6:47 AM. Upon arrival, they assessed the situation and determined that the Chevrolet Volt was not drivable due to its condition, while the other two vehicles appeared to be drivable but had varying degrees of damage.
As emergency crews worked to manage the scene, they discovered that the Chevrolet Volt had also collided with a parked trailer, complicating the situation further. To ensure safety and clear the roadway, a tow truck was requested for the Chevrolet Volt, which was ultimately towed away due to its non-drivable state.
Traffic was heavily impacted during the incident, particularly in the southbound lanes of State Route 238, where the Chevrolet Volt was blocking lanes two and three. By 7:44 AM, emergency services had successfully cleared the scene, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
No injuries were reported as a result of the collision, underscoring the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Motorists are advised to remain vigilant and cautious on the roads, particularly in busy areas like Hayward, CA.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and prepared for unexpected situations while navigating California's roadways.
