A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 580 West near the Macarthur Boulevard on-ramp in Oakland, CA, involving at least two vehicles. The incident was reported around 5:27 AM when one vehicle struck a guardrail and spun out, partially blocking the right lane. Witnesses reported that the vehicle completed a full 360-degree spin before coming to rest on the right side of the road.
Shortly after the initial collision, another accident was reported in the same area, indicating multiple vehicles were involved. A person involved in the first collision reported a head injury but declined medical assistance. The situation was deemed dangerous, prompting a request for California Highway Patrol assistance to manage the scene and ensure safety for other motorists.
By 5:42 AM, the right lane was confirmed to be blocked, creating potential traffic disruptions. A tow truck was initiated to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. Another caller noted that visibility was poor and the conditions were hazardous for passing drivers, further emphasizing the need for CHP intervention.
While the final status of the vehicles remains unclear, authorities are working to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this area.
