This is 880 southbound across from southland mall in hayward. Chp says the collision happened sometime after 11 30 a. M. Last night. As you mentioned, a car crashed into the back of the patrol car. The driver of the other car was transported to the hospital. Again, we dont know the extent of the parties involved.

Reporter this is a very sad Christmas Morning for at least several families here in the bay area. We are in front of what has been the scene for hours here on 880 south near southland mall. That is the chp car that was hit from behind. There is debris everywhere on the freeway, on this offramp, across all lanes. Now, i want to just show you right across from this offramp here, thats the other car that was involved, this red car where you see the front left side smashed in, ending up across the freeway.

M. , Christmas Eve, again, near 880 south near winton by the mall. Investigators arent giving specifics about the injuries or confirming if anyone has passed.

They are not providing details on the officers conditions. Two officers have been injured. The conditions of the driver of the red car is not known. We do not know what led to the accident.

After that it went across the freeway and across the offramp. We called chp a few minutes ago, they said they would not provide updates on the investigation or those injured until a News Conference, plan this morning at 9 00, takes place.
