OAKLAND, CA (May 4, 2021) – One person died and one was injured Saturday morning after a deadly DUI crash on Interstate 880.

CHP arrived at the scene around 4:30 a.m. May 1, near the 66th Avenue on-ramp.

Per reports, while attempting to merge onto southbound I-880, the driver of a Chevrolet ran into a guardrail, blocking a lane of traffic. A passenger stepped out of the minivan and stood in the road.

Minutes later, a black Honda Civic crashed with the minivan, striking the passenger standing outside of it.

Officers found a woman lying injured on the roadway upon arrival. Tragically, she was pronounced dead on the scene and the driver of the Honda was transported to a regional trauma center with life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, the driver of the Chevrolet, a woman in her 20s, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to CHP.

Police officials closed the southbound lanes of the highway for a couple of hours. However, all lanes were later reopened by 7:00 a.m.

At this point, police have not confirmed their identities. Although, the accident remains under investigation.
