Officials ID Man, 18, Killed in Tuesday Night Crash on I-880 in Hayward

A man killed in a crash on southbound Interstate Highway 880 in Hayward Tuesday night has been identified by the Alameda County coroner’s bureau as 18-year-old Dajon Thompson. Officers responded around 10:30 p.m. to a report of an accident involving at least two vehicles near the connector to state Highway 92, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Damian Cistaro.

CHP officials said an 18-year-old Hayward woman was traveling in the southbound lanes of I-880 when, for an unknown reason, she lost control of her vehicle and veered out onto the right shoulder. The Chrysler she was driving struck a concrete sound wall and continued into the right rear of an unoccupied Ford parked on the right shoulder, according to the CHP. Both vehicles sustained major damage.
