They dont have an estimated time of when these lanes are expected to open and unfortunately when they are dealing with a deadly crash thats possibly going to take quite a while. You definitely want to try to avoid the area. Were already seeing heavy delays all the way back through fruitvale, so make sure to get off before you hit fruitvale avenue, take the surface streets and hop back on after coliseum. We can expect to see a couple delays not just on southbound 880 but also along the surface streets as well. We have another deadly crash and this one is in palo alto involving another big rig. This one has three actually, rather, one lane open of four. So three lanes of four are closed right now and a sig alert has been issued. Our traffic maps are showing delays out of that area as well.

Another big accident. Today in the bays bob redell is live there with whats going on. Bob, certainly a scary scene out there for a lot of those drivers. Reporter good morning to you, marcus and laura. The big rig itself was removed by some wrecking crews a wrecker crew within the past three to four minutes behind me. You can see the head lights, those are heading northbound on 101 in palo alto just before the University Avenue accident. The accident with the big rig took police in front of us here where that k rail is and we see those caltrans vehicles are. I did speak with chp within the past 15 minutes and they expect this to be reopened within the hour. Right now three of the four lanes in the northbound direction are shut down.
