A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 880 South at the West Tennyson Road off-ramp in Hayward, CA. The incident took place at approximately 1:03 PM and resulted in no reported injuries.
The collision involved a black GMC Sierra and a white Dodge Ram. California Highway Patrol units were dispatched to the scene and arrived shortly after the incident was reported. By 1:07 PM, both vehicles were confirmed to be driveable; however, the white Dodge Ram was blocking the exit lane, which required a heavy-duty tow.
A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Dodge Ram, which was obstructing traffic. The tow truck arrived around 1:20 PM, but complications arose due to payment issues, delaying the towing process. The Dodge Ram was eventually towed to Jack James Tow Yard in Hayward after attempts to resolve the payment situation.
Traffic flow was impacted during the incident, but all lanes were reported open by 1:40 PM, minimizing disruption for motorists. The California Highway Patrol units cleared the scene by 1:49 PM, ensuring that the roadway was safe for travel.
The efficient response from emergency services and the quick clearance of the roadway contributed to a swift resolution of the incident. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, and the black GMC Sierra was able to continue its journey without the need for towing.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious on the roadways, especially in busy areas like Interstate 880. The California Highway Patrol encourages all motorists to adhere to traffic laws and report any incidents to ensure the safety of all road users.
