2 People Hurt, Wrong-Way Collision on 580 Freeway in Oakland

 
OAKLAND, CA (April 24, 2023) — Two people were injured in a wrong-way accident on the 580 Freeway near Seminary Avenue.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the two-vehicle crash happened around 7:00 a.m. Sunday. For an unknown reason, a driver in a Ford F-150 was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of the 580 Freeway.
 
CHP officers began receiving calls a little past 7:00 a.m. about a driver intentionally trying to hit cars head-on. The Ford F-150 eventually struck a Ford F-250 owned by the City of Oakland, prompting a Sigalert and lane closure.
 
Shortly after, paramedics arrived and took the F-150 driver to Highland Hospital for treatment of major injuries. Paramedics also brought the F-250 driver to the same hospital with minor injuries.
 
Traffic investigators did not say what caused the driver to deliberately hit other cars; however, an investigation into this case should confirm more details.
