Deputies Injured in Stolen Vehicle Crash on Interstate 580 [Alameda County, CA]

Alameda County, CA (November 19, 2021) – On Wednesday, two deputies suffered injuries in a stolen vehicle crash on Interstate 580.

The accident started at about 11 a.m. when an officer spotted a stolen Ford Ranger on I-580.

Then, the driver ditched the stolen truck on I-580 near Carolyn Street. Afterwards, he jumped from the freeway to the road below.

The suspect fought with the authorities and was able to steal another car. 

However, as the driver fled, on officer was dragged and the other deputy was struck. 

The driver sped at 100 mph and crashed at 98th Avenue in Oakland. The suspect struck a couple of other vehicles along the way. 

Later on, the officers were able to arrest the uninjured suspect and now in custody.

Stealing is a crime.

Meanwhile, to avoid accidents, scan the road 1/2 mile to a full mile ahead in order to look out or recognize potential hazards in time.

Our bodies weren’t designed to travel at 50mph. We were designed for speeds of less than 10mph, thus you need to learn to consciously break that natural instinct and focus farther ahead.

Dealing With Vehicle Crash on Interstate 580

Roadways, while scrupulously created and mapped for efficient travel, are one of the most dangerous settings. Therefore, it is crucial that everyone remain calm in order to properly handle the immediate aftermath of an automobile collision.
 
In fact, on the AAA Foundation Web site, chief executive officer Peter Kissinger repeatedly labeled the epidemic of motor vehicle-related accidents a “public health crisis.”
 
Moreover, here are the things that we need to remember in case of an accident:
 
– Before anything else, seek medical attention if you or someone with you suffered injuries.
 
– Get to a safe place to prevent further damage or injury.
 
– Collect as much information as possible: insurance and contact information of people involved in the accident and pictures/videos of vehicles involved. Also, do not forget documentation of fault, and whatever else that can be used for evidence.
 
– File a police report or incident report by calling 911.
