A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 238 South at the interchange with Interstate 580 East in Hayward, CA, during the busy morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a 2024 gray Hyundai Tucson and a white Toyota. The collision initially blocked lanes one and two, causing significant traffic delays and congestion as emergency services responded to the scene.
Emergency response units arrived quickly to manage the situation and ensure safety. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the damaged white Toyota from the roadway. As the response continued, all lanes were eventually reopened, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
The collision created a temporary backup on the highway, impacting drivers during peak travel hours. By mid-morning, traffic conditions improved as the scene was cleared, alleviating the congestion that had built up due to the traffic incident.
