A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of State Route 13 North and Broadway Terrace in Oakland, CA, involving three vehicles: a white Ford Fusion, a gray Ford F150, and a black Lexus SUV. The incident took place around 4:43 PM, causing significant traffic delays during the afternoon commute.
As a result of the traffic incident, all vehicles were moved to the right shoulder, but lane slowdowns continued to affect traffic flow.

To alleviate congestion, northbound traffic on State Route 13 was diverted onto eastbound State Route 24, helping to reduce backup for motorists.
