A driver of one of the vehicles was killed and two others were reported injured according to a KTVU news segment.

A user of the Citizen platform noted that the markings of one of the vehicles, which read “Clean California” was consistent with Department of Transportation work vehicles.

The Alameda County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim as 33-year-old Kevin Payne of Stockton.

CHP is still investigating the cause of the accident although witnesses noted speed was likely a factor. All exits have since reopened.
