A traffic collision on Interstate 880 North in Oakland, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 11:36 PM when two vehicles, a black Ford SUV and an unknown vehicle, were involved in a crash that resulted in major front-end damage to the SUV. The collision blocked the off-ramp at 29th Avenue, leading to considerable delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage the scene and direct traffic. The blockage of the off-ramp also obstructed traffic on the opposite side of the highway, causing backups for motorists traveling in both directions. A tow truck was called to remove the damaged Ford SUV, which was left on the curb off 29th Avenue.
Additionally, an oil spill was reported at the scene, prompting emergency crews to address the hazard to ensure safety for all road users. As of midnight, efforts were underway to clear the area and restore normal traffic flow.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup operations continue. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during late-night hours when visibility may be reduced.
