One arrested on suspicion of DUI in one of three collisions on Hwy. 880

HAYWARD, Calif. -- One person was arrested on suspicion of DUI in one of three collisions, one of which was fatal, on Interstate Highway 880 in Hayward early Thursday morning, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

Officers responded to a report of an accident at 2:26 a.m. on northbound Highway 880 near the West A Street off-ramp, CHP Officer Kevin Bartlett said.

A second accident was reported a minute later in the same area, Bartlett said.

A total of four cars were involved in both accidents, he said.

One person was killed in one of the two collisions and Bartlett did have information on injuries.

The Alameda County coroner's bureau identified the deceased as 44-year-old Juan Zamora of Menlo Park.

A Sig-alert was issued at 2:38 a.m. closing all northbound lanes.

One lane was reopened about an hour later, CHP officials said.

A third collision, separate from the first two accidents, was reported around 5:10 a.m. on northbound Highway 880 near the Winton Avenue off-ramp, about a mile south of A Street, he said.

At least one person suffered minor injuries in that accident involving two cars, according to Bartlett.

A second Sig-alert was issued for the area, maintaining that only one right lane was open amidst the investigation of the three collisions, CHP officials said.

Four of five northbound lanes remained closed until about 6:20 a.m., according to the CHP.
