HAYWARD, Alameda County, Calif., Nov. 11, 2026 — A two-vehicle crash on southbound I-880 near W A Street left at least one person with minor injuries on Tuesday afternoon, November 10, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported just north of the W A Street offramp on southbound I-880, according to the California Highway Patrol. A gray Mazda 3 and a silver sedan collided, blocking the third lane of traffic. The occupant of the Mazda reportedly declined ambulance transport at the scene, though the vehicle was listed as involved in a minor-injury collision.
A silver Toyota Camry involved in the incident was reported to have damage to its right-rear tire, and a tow truck was requested to remove it from the roadway. A tow company based in San Leandro responded to the scene. All lanes were cleared, and traffic was moved to the right shoulder within about half an hour of the initial report, officers said.
The California Highway Patrol classified the collision as a minor-injury crash. No further details on the cause of the crash or any citations have been released. The incident remains on record with the agency as officers continue to document the collision.
We hope those who were hurt recover fully and quickly.
