The wreck about 9:05 a.m. on westbound Interstate 580 north of Livermore Avenue blocked the express lane and four of five regular lanes of traffic, the CHP said. Only the far right lane was open.
The CHP issued a Sig Alert for severe traffic at 9:19 a.m. and had no estimate for when the rest of the freeway lanes would open. At 10:30 a.m., authorities still were waiting for the Alameda County Coroner’s Office to arrive.
No details on how the crash happened were available. A CHP log confirmed by the agency said initial reports indicated the car involved in the fatal crash was a Mercedes and that one big rig, possibly two also were involved.
