California’s Interstate 580 was shut down for nearly 10 hours earlier this month after two big-rig collisions near Castro Valley in unincorporated Alameda County. The police alert for the road closures came in just after 4:00am on that Thursday morning, and was finally lifted around 2:00pm. Sadly, both truck crashes proved to be fatal.

Before Harold could accelerate his sedan out of harm’s way, the big rig flew past, clipping the back side and sending the car spinning into the other side of the road. The jolt of the impact woke the big rig driver up. While everyone survived the collision, the damage to the vehicle was total…
In the wake of the terrible tour bus crash in Union Square earlier this month, victims have begun speaking out and even Mayor Lee is beginning to take action.
