TL responsible for big rig accident/fire in Oakland?
Looks like a black TL is being blamed for cutting off a big rig tanker that flipped and burst into flames on I-880 in Oakland this morning.

Closed down both directions of the freeway, and it's predicted southbound will still be closed for evening commute. Lots of damage to freeway.

The CHP said that the Acura was in the fast lane when it attempted to change lanes. The car pulled back, lost control and ended up going across all four lanes of traffic when it was struck by the big rig, which was in the slow lane. The Acura then careened across all four lanes of traffic and ended up striking the center divide and the truck jackknifed. Suddenly Nern saw several small explosions.
ermmm so the TL went from the far left to far right, then far left again? that's nuts. and the front airbags dont look like they deployed :o
