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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He collided with a silver Honda Civic and then a gray Honda Civic and was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.<\/p>\n
The silver Honda’s driver wasn’t hurt and the gray Honda’s driver was taken to Highland Hospital with moderate injuries.<\/p>\n
Alcohol impairment might have been a factor in the crash, according to the CHP.<\/p>\n
Westbound I-580 was closed following the crash for a couple of hours and drivers were diverted to the Seminary Avenue offramp.<\/p>\n
