Cars racing on I-880 near Hayward may have caused multi-vehicle crash

California Highway Patrol said a multi-vehicle crash may have been caused by cars racing overnight on I-880 near Hayward.

HAYWARD, Calif. - About a half dozen vehicles crashed early Saturday morning in Hayward, and California Highway Patrol said the wreck may have been caused by cars racing.

The crash happened about 4 a.m. on I-880 past the Highway 92 split.

At least one car overturned and another caught fire.

Medics were called to the scene but there's no word on who was hurt or the extent of their injuries.

A Sig-alert was issued just before 4:30 a.m. because three northbound lanes were blocked. As of 7 a.m. CHP was working to clear the mess.
