A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred early this morning on State Route 24 West near College Avenue in Oakland, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 2:46 AM and involved a black Honda Civic and a black Ford Explorer.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the Ford Explorer lost control and spun out, colliding with the Honda Civic shortly after the initial report. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident. However, the Honda Civic was deemed not drivable due to the damage it sustained, while the Ford Explorer suffered significant front-end damage and also required towing.
Emergency services responded promptly, with the first units arriving on the scene at around 3:03 AM. Paramedics were dispatched shortly thereafter to assess the situation. A tow truck was requested for the Ford Explorer, as it was unable to be driven away from the scene.
Traffic flow was temporarily impacted as emergency personnel worked to clear the wreckage. However, by 3:43 AM, all lanes were reported to be open, allowing traffic to resume normal operations.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to practice safe driving habits, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision and urges anyone with additional information to come forward.
