A serious traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Stanton Avenue and Castro Valley Boulevard in Castro Valley, California, involving two vehicles: a black Amazon delivery van and a gray sedan. The incident took place around 7:50 PM when the driver of the gray sedan reportedly ran a red light, resulting in a significant collision with the Amazon van.
Emergency services responded quickly, arriving shortly after the incident was reported. Upon their arrival, they found that the driver of the gray sedan had sustained serious injuries, including an inability to feel their legs. This prompted the immediate request for an ambulance to transport the injured individual for medical evaluation and treatment.
Both vehicles involved in the collision were rendered undriveable due to extensive damage. The gray sedan, identified as a Nissan Altima, suffered significant front-end damage, while the condition of the Amazon van was not specified. A tow truck was called to the scene to assist in removing both vehicles from the roadway.
As a result of the collision, Stanton Avenue was blocked for a period, causing traffic delays in the area. Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow, advising motorists to seek alternate routes until the situation was resolved.
Witnesses reported that the gray sedan was traveling at a high speed before running the red light, contributing to the severity of the crash. The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the incident to determine the full details and any potential charges that may arise.
This incident highlights the importance of obeying traffic signals and the serious consequences of reckless driving. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information to come forward.
