A traffic collision occurred today on Palomares Road in Castro Valley, CA, involving a single SUV that went down an embankment, resulting in significant front-end damage. The incident was reported around 9:25 AM, prompting multiple emergency response units to arrive at the scene for traffic management and scene control.
Due to the SUV's position approximately 60 feet down the embankment, traffic in the area experienced delays and congestion during the morning commute. Emergency responders worked to secure the scene and coordinate the towing of the vehicle, which was scheduled for removal shortly after the incident was reported.
As responders attempted to access the vehicle, they faced challenges due to a locked gate belonging to a neighboring property, which further complicated the towing process. This situation contributed to ongoing traffic backups along Palomares Road, impacting drivers in the vicinity.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as the situation is being resolved. The traffic incident underscores the need for caution while driving in the area, particularly during busy hours. Emergency crews remain on site to ensure the safe removal of the SUV and to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
