One man died and two other people were injured early Thursday morning when a wrong-way-driver collided with two cars on Interstate Highway 580 in Oakland.
At about 2:30 a.m., a man driving a Chrysler sedan was driving east in the westbound slow lane just east of State Highway 13, according to the CHP.
He collided with a silver Honda Civic and then a gray Honda Civic and was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.
The silver Honda’s driver wasn’t hurt and the gray Honda’s driver was taken to Highland Hospital with moderate injuries.
Alcohol impairment might have been a factor in the crash, according to the CHP.
Westbound I-580 was closed following the crash for a couple of hours and drivers were diverted to the Seminary Avenue offramp.
