Deadly car accident in Albany: Sedan falls over freeway overpass
ALBANY, Calif. - A man in a silver Hyundai died Friday morning on the freeway near the Albany area in a crash that involved three vehicles, according to the California Highway Patrol and witnesses.
The Alameda County Coroner identified him as Daniel Alejandro Oliva Morales, 40, of Oakland.
The California Highway Patrol arrested a El Cerrito resident, possibly in their 30s, on suspicion of driving under the influence in a Toyota Camry that struck the Hyundai. The CHP also told KTVU that the Toyota driver had been driving "recklessly."
The 3:30 a.m. accident occurred on eastbound Interstate Highway 580 at Interstate 80 by Buchanan Street.
Visual evidence showed the Hyundai fell off the freeway overpass and landed upside down on the road below. DoorDash delivery bags were strewn about.
The accident also involved a big rig, according to witnesses and the CHP.
None of the other drivers sustained injuries, the CHP said.
