A significant traffic collision occurred today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 80 (I-80) at Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA, causing major traffic delays during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a gray Ford F250 and a white Toyota Camry, both of which were rendered undriveable and will require towing from the scene.
The collision was reported at approximately 11:43 AM, leading to lane one being blocked and causing slow-moving traffic in the adjacent lanes. Emergency units were dispatched promptly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. As a result of the blockage, drivers experienced noticeable congestion and backups in the area.
To alleviate traffic delays, emergency responders worked to move all parties involved to the right-hand shoulder. The presence of both vehicles in the high-occupancy vehicle lane further complicated traffic conditions. A tow truck has been requested to remove the vehicles, and traffic conditions are being monitored closely by emergency personnel.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes while the scene is being cleared. The situation is ongoing, and drivers should remain cautious as they navigate through this area until normal traffic patterns are restored.
