A hit-and-run incident involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on the northbound lanes of Interstate 880, near the Interstate 238 South connector in San Lorenzo, CA. The California Highway Patrol received reports of the collision at approximately 5:59 AM, prompting an immediate response from emergency units.
Upon arrival at the scene at 6:08 AM, officers discovered a blue Toyota Prius blocking the slow lane. The vehicle was reported as not drivable and was positioned sideways across the lanes, creating a hazardous situation for other motorists. The second vehicle involved was a truck towing a trailer, which was also partially obstructing the slow lane.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the drivers or passengers involved in the incident. Emergency responders quickly assessed the situation and coordinated efforts to clear the roadway. A tow truck was requested for the Prius at 6:20 AM, and by 6:24 AM, the vehicle was successfully towed from the scene.
The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to manage the incident and ensure the safety of all drivers on the road. By 7:00 AM, the situation was resolved, and the incident was officially closed. The condition of the truck was not specified, but no further action was noted regarding it.
Motorists traveling in the area during the incident may have experienced minor delays due to the blockage caused by the Prius. However, the prompt response from the California Highway Patrol and the tow service helped to minimize the impact on traffic flow.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need to report any accidents promptly to avoid further complications on the road. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while navigating busy highways.
