A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a black sedan and a black Infiniti SUV, occurred today near the toll plaza on Interstate 80 West (I-80 W) in Oakland, CA. The incident was reported around 5:04 PM and resulted in significant lane closures as both vehicles obstructed traffic near the bridge.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene to manage traffic flow and reroute vehicles. The collision caused notable delays and congestion for drivers in the area, particularly during the busy evening commute. By 5:12 PM, authorities confirmed that the vehicles were blocking multiple lanes, which led to backups extending beyond the toll plaza.
To facilitate the clearing of the scene, a tow truck was requested shortly after 6:01 PM for the black Infiniti SUV. Emergency responders worked diligently to restore normal traffic conditions, and by approximately 6:30 PM, the situation was under control.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect residual delays as traffic begins to return to normal. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the area for any further incidents. Drivers are encouraged to consider alternate routes to avoid congestion.
