Hayward, CA – Two People Killed in Collision with a Tour Bus on Interstate 880
Hayward, California (October 31, 2018) – A man and a woman were killed in a four-vehicle collision involving a tour bus Tuesday night on Interstate 880 in Hayward. The collision transpired at approximately 10:40 pm on the northbound lanes in the area of the Whipple Road exit.
Officials have confirmed, a tour bus was heading northbound on Interstate 880 at speeds of 65 mph or faster when, for indeterminate reasons, it collided into the rear end of a 1997 Lexus. The tour bus was then thrown forward and landed on the back of the Lexus. The impact of the crash pushed the Lexus to the left and out of the path of the tour bus. The bus continued to slide forward and rear-end a 2011 Ford. The impact of the collision threw the Ford into the back of a UPS truck, wedging the Ford between the tour bus and the truck. Eventually, the bus landed on top of the Ford. Police and firefighters rushed to the scene of the accident and attempted to revive a 57-year-old Hayward woman as well as a 46-year-old San Lorenzo man. Sadly, both injured victims succumbed to their injuries and died at the scene of the accident. First responders transported a 61-year-old Salinas man driving the UPS truck to a local hospital for more in-depth treatment of neck pain. The fatal accident prompted the closure of all northbound lanes on the freeway for about seven hours. Investigators are still trying to determine a probable cause of the accident.
Our deepest sympathies go to the friends and family of the deceased victims. We wish for courage and strength during this time of sorrow.
At this time, the California Highway Patrol is currently investigating this tragic accident.
