A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 80 East near the Buchanan Street off-ramp in Berkeley, CA, causing considerable traffic delays during the morning commute. The incident involved five vehicles: a white Honda CRV, a gray Honda SUV, a white Ford truck, a white sedan, and a white Ford F350, which sustained substantial front-end damage.
The collision resulted in the blockage of lane two and additional lanes, leading to congestion and slow-moving traffic in the area. Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage traffic and ensure safety while tow services were engaged to remove the vehicles that were not drivable.
The traffic incident began around 10:47 AM, and by 11:00 AM, multiple lanes remained obstructed, contributing to a backup for drivers. Emergency personnel worked diligently to clear the roadway, and by 11:34 AM, the roadway was reported clear, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area as residual delays may persist following the incident. This traffic collision serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during peak travel times.
