OAKLAND, Calif. – A jackknifed semi-truck carrying dish washers and two cars were involved in an accident Monday on Interstate 880 in Oakland that tied up traffic in the early morning hours.Â
The California Highway Patrol says the crash, in the southbound direction at 23rd Avenue, occurred around 4 a.m. and involved two passenger vehicles and the tractor-trailer.Â
The cab of the truck remained upright, but the trailer sustained significant damage. At least one of the involved vehicles had been spun around and is now facing the center divider wall. The driver of the rig told KTVU he was OK, but declined to say more.Â
The CHP said there were minor injuries, but it’s unclear how the crash occurred.
By 5:30 a.m., the two cars were towed away, and efforts were underway to right the rig.
