A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today at approximately 12:27 PM on Interstate 80 West near the Powell Street off-ramp in Emeryville, CA. The vehicles involved included a Black Audi A4, a Gray SUV, and a Black Chevrolet. The positioning of these vehicles obstructed the roadway, leading to significant lane closures and traffic delays.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic. Due to the immobilization of the vehicles, clearing the roadway proved challenging, resulting in backups for motorists during the busy midday period. Towing services were requested for at least two of the vehicles involved in the incident, further complicating the traffic situation.
As crews worked to secure the area and facilitate the removal of the vehicles, drivers experienced delays and congestion on Interstate 80 (I-80). The traffic incident not only affected the immediate vicinity but also contributed to ripple effects on surrounding routes.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and exercise caution while traveling through the area as emergency responders continue to manage the situation. Updates on traffic conditions will be provided as they become available.
