A solo vehicle collision occurred early this morning on the eastbound Interstate 80 at the Ashby Avenue off-ramp in Emeryville, CA. The incident took place at approximately 2:55 AM when a black 2004 Toyota sedan struck the right guardrail. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in this incident.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, ensuring the safety of the area and assessing the damage. The vehicle was found off the roadway in the grass and was towed due to the extent of the damage.
