A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Southbound Interstate 880 (I-880) near the W Winton Avenue off-ramp in Hayward, CA. The incident, which took place around noon, involved a white Honda Pilot and a white BMW. The Honda Pilot was able to continue driving, while the BMW experienced mechanical issues and began smoking, requiring a tow.

A tow truck arrived to assist with the BMW, which was ultimately removed from the roadway. Motorists were advised to exercise caution and anticipate potential residual delays as traffic gradually returned to normal.
