A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 880 South near the Thornton Avenue East on-ramp in Newark, CA, involving five vehicles. The incident took place around 11:44 AM during the busy morning commute. Among the vehicles involved were a gray Tesla Model 3 that was reported as non-drivable, a black Tesla, an unspecified third vehicle, and a rental four-door Toyota from Tulsa.

The collision led to lane closures, particularly affecting lanes one, two, and three, which caused considerable traffic delays and congestion in the area.
