Oakland, CA (May 19, 2026) – A multi-vehicle collision shut down lanes on eastbound Interstate 580 at the 35th Avenue exit in Oakland on Monday, May 18, after being reported around 9:11 a.m. The crash involved at least three vehicles: a gold Kia, a white Lexus, and a van of unknown color. The gold Kia was said to have smoke coming from its engine. The accident obstructed the slow lanes and exit ramp, prompting the dispatch of an air medical unit to the scene. Two vehicles were heavily damaged: a gray SUV with rear-end impact and a tan sedan with severe front-end destruction. Both vehicles were towed away from the location. Information regarding the number of individuals injured and the extent of their injuries remains unconfirmed. The incident is still being investigated by authorities, who will release additional information as it becomes available. Our thoughts are with those who were injured and are now receiving treatment.
