Incidents involving a big-rig fire in San Leandro blocking the northbound SR-238 connector in San Leandro and an overturned big-rig on westbound Highway 24 at the Caldecott Tunnel are causing major traffic delays Wednesday morning, CHP said.
The first incident was reported at around 2:15 a.m. when a big-rig crashed crashed into the center divide and caught fire on the northbound SR-238 connector ramp to I-880 N in San Leandro. As of 5 a.m., the connector ramp is closed and traffic is being diverted from northbound I-238 to southbound I-880.
Alameda County Fire posted video of crews responding to the fire early Tuesday. The post said the trailer was hauling food and produce and that the driver was not injured. As of 7:20 a.m., firefighters were still on scene.
The Hayward office of the CHP shared photos and videos of the progress being made clearing the scene, but the northbound connector remained closed with traffic moving slowly past the accident location.
