A traffic collision on Interstate 980 East in Oakland, CA, has resulted in a partial blockage of the right lane today, affecting traffic flow during the evening commute. The incident, involving one vehicle—a grey or black Toyota sedan—occurred at the interchange with Interstate 580 West around 6:27 PM.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) were promptly dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. As the right lane remains blocked, drivers in the area may experience delays and congestion.
A tow truck has been called to the scene to assist with the removal of the non-drivable vehicle, which could prolong the traffic impact until the vehicle is cleared. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid potential backups.
The CHP is actively monitoring the situation to ensure that traffic resumes smoothly once the scene is cleared. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and plan their routes accordingly to minimize delays during this busy time of day.
