A traffic collision on Interstate 880 South in Oakland, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident, which involved two vehicles—a black Chevrolet and a grey Tesla—occurred around 8:47 AM. The Tesla was not driveable, leading to lane blockages that impacted one to two lanes of traffic.

Emergency services quickly arrived on the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. As a result of the collision, motorists experienced delays and congestion, particularly for those turning at Market Street. The black Chevrolet remained driveable, allowing for some movement, but the presence of the Tesla in lane one contributed to a backup in the area.

By 8:56 AM, emergency personnel were actively working to clear the roadway. A tow truck was requested for the Tesla, which was located just south of the Oak Street on-ramp. Drivers traveling through this section of Interstate 880 South should anticipate delays as crews work to remove the vehicles and restore normal traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible and remain cautious as they navigate through the affected area. Updates on the traffic incident will be provided as the situation develops.
