A traffic collision on Interstate 880 North in Union City, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles: a white Toyota Prius and a brown Toyota Camry. The collision occurred around 6:35 PM, initially blocking lanes three and four, which led to considerable congestion in the area.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. By 6:51 PM, both vehicles were moved to the right lane, helping to reduce the blockage. However, the traffic incident continued to impact motorists, resulting in delays and backups for those traveling on the busy highway.
The lane closures affected northbound traffic near the Whipple Road off-ramp, causing increased congestion during the evening commute. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of one of the vehicles, further aiding in the restoration of normal traffic patterns.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the flow of traffic. Drivers are encouraged to stay alert and follow posted detours to navigate around the affected lanes.
