A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on Interstate 880 North at W A Street in Hayward, CA, resulting in minor injuries and significant traffic disruptions. The incident began when a high-speed gray sedan collided with several other vehicles, including a blue Infiniti, a white pickup truck, and a brown Buick.
Emergency services were alerted shortly after the crash, which was reported at approximately 9:35 AM. The California Highway Patrol and fire services responded promptly to the scene. Initial reports indicated that at least one party in the white pickup truck may have sustained injuries. Fortunately, all injuries reported were classified as minor, with no serious injuries confirmed.
As emergency responders worked to manage the situation, the white pickup truck was towed from the scene due to its non-drivable condition. The status of the other vehicles involved, particularly the blue Infiniti and brown Buick, was not specified but was also implied to be non-drivable. Witnesses reported that the gray sedan was traveling at high speeds before the collision, leading to a chaotic scene on the freeway.
Traffic was significantly impacted as lanes were blocked while emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage. Reports indicated that additional vehicles were present at the scene, with some witnesses capturing the incident on dash cameras. The situation escalated from a minor injury report to a confirmed traffic collision involving three primary vehicles.
By 10:02 AM, the California Highway Patrol updated the incident status to reflect the involvement of three vehicles with minor injuries. The scene was cleared, and traffic began to resume its normal flow after the tow truck arrived to remove the damaged vehicles.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as cleanup efforts continue. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of high-speed driving and the importance of road safety.
