A minor traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 680 North near Andrade Road Off-Ramp in Sunol, CA, involving a gray Tesla Model 3. The incident was reported at approximately 6:10 AM when the vehicle spun out, colliding with a guardrail and a light post before coming to rest down an embankment.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. Initially reported as having no injuries, the situation was later updated to indicate unknown injuries. The Tesla was determined to be undrivable, requiring towing assistance. However, complications arose due to the vehicle's location, approximately 20 feet down the embankment, making towing challenging.
