A traffic collision on Interstate 880 North in Oakland, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident, which involved two vehicles, occurred near the 66th Avenue on-ramp at approximately 9:07 AM. One of the vehicles, a silver Buick Lucerne, sustained front-end damage and required towing from the scene.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived to secure the area and manage traffic flow. The collision resulted in lane closures on the northbound side of Interstate 880, leading to delays and congestion for motorists. The presence of a vehicle blocking the first lane further impeded the flow of traffic, causing backups during peak travel hours.
Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the damaged Buick, while details regarding the second vehicle remain unspecified. As the situation unfolded, the California Highway Patrol advised drivers to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid the area.
Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions as the area returns to normal following this traffic incident. The quick response from emergency services helped mitigate the impact on traffic, but delays were expected as crews worked to clear the roadway.
