A traffic collision occurred today at approximately 5:42 PM on San Miguel Avenue in Castro Valley, CA, involving two vehicles: a red Tesla and a black Mazda sedan. Both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage, prompting the response of multiple emergency units to manage the scene and ensure public safety.
The collision resulted in a telephone pole being knocked down, which blocked the intersection and led to lane closures. As a result, traffic was heavily impacted, causing delays for drivers in the area. Emergency responders worked diligently to secure the scene and direct traffic, while tow trucks were called to remove the damaged vehicles from the roadway.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible, as the lane closures may lead to backups and congestion. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially in busy intersections. Emergency crews remained on-site to manage the situation until the roadway was cleared and normal traffic flow could resume.
Authorities are currently searching for an unidentified vehicle that reportedly left the scene following the collision. Updates on the traffic situation will be provided as they become available.
