A hit-and-run incident involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 880 North near the 66th Avenue off-ramp in Oakland, CA. The collision took place at approximately 8:44 AM, when a black Tesla SUV struck a water container, blocking the middle lane of the highway.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and it was confirmed that there were no injuries reported. The Tesla collided with a blue Ford Explorer, but both vehicles left the scene before authorities arrived. As a result, the middle lane remained obstructed for a short period while emergency crews worked to clear the area.

Traffic was affected as the Tesla blocked lanes three and four, prompting responders to attempt moving the vehicle to the right-hand side of the roadway. A tow truck was called to assist in removing the obstructing vehicle.

An ambulance was requested as a precaution, although no injuries were reported. The situation was managed efficiently, and the roadway was cleared shortly after the incident.

Motorists traveling on Interstate 880 North should remain cautious and be aware of potential delays due to this incident. Authorities advise drivers to stay alert and follow any detour signs or instructions from traffic personnel until the area is fully cleared.
