Accident in Contra Costa Adds To Problems For Bay Area Friday Commute

BAY AREA, CA — A reported fatal hit-and-run and a series of crashes, as well as roadwork, slowed drivers across the Bay Area this morning.

Drivers right now should expect traffic delays at East bound Ygnacio Valley Road and San Carlos. A traffic accident at about 9 a.m. is slowing traffic there.

A fatal hit-and-run involving a cyclist blocked traffic in all directions at the Capitol Expressway this morning.

A crash near northbound Interstate 238 and Interstate 880 added to traffic in Hayward and Castro Valley.

Drivers leaving Castro Valley were advised to use Interstate 580 although the lanes were open. That problem has cleared.

On the Bay Bridge, traffic was still slow well into the Friday commute, backing up to the Maze.

A traffic hazard blocked a lane on westbound Highway 92 east of the San Mateo Bridge toll plaza in Hayward.

Farther west, a disabled vehicle tied up a lane near the bridge’s high rise in Foster City. Drivers were warned to expect delays at both locations.

On northbound Highway 101, a disabled vehicle north of Dore Avenue in San Mateo closed lanes.

Northbound 280 near Hwy 17 was also slow and should be avoided.
