A significant traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 580 West near the Edwards on-ramp in Oakland, CA, causing major disruptions during the evening commute. The incident involved two vehicles, including a white SUV that rolled over but was later made drivable, and a second vehicle described as a sedan.
The collision resulted in the left lane and the Edwards on-ramp to Interstate 580 West being blocked, leading to considerable traffic backup and delays in the area. Emergency services responded quickly to manage the situation and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved.
Motorists were advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes to avoid the affected area. As vehicles navigated around the blockage, some drivers attempted to pass using the left side of the on-ramp. By early evening, the on-ramp had reopened, but traffic remained slow as crews worked to clear the scene.
Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan their routes accordingly to minimize delays. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe passage for all motorists.
