A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning on Interstate 580 West near the 14th Avenue off-ramp in Oakland, CA. The incident was reported around 2:20 AM, involving a white 2019 Toyota Avalon, which ended up facing the wrong way on the right-hand shoulder. Emergency services responded quickly, and a tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the scene.
Fortunately, there were no confirmed injuries reported, although the status of any potential injuries remains unknown. A gray Ford Ranger was mentioned in connection with the incident, but it is unclear if it was directly involved in the collision. Traffic was significantly impacted, with all westbound lanes coming to a standstill just west of Harrison Street as emergency responders worked to clear the area.
The tow truck arrived shortly after the accident, relocating the white Toyota Avalon to the Lakeshore off-ramp, which allowed traffic to gradually resume. By approximately 4:05 AM, the vehicle had been towed and stored, easing the congestion that had built up during the incident.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic conditions in the area. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safety for all travelers on the road.
