Coroner IDs Roseville Man Killed In Crash That Blocked I-580 For 10 Hours

CASTRO VALLEY, CA — A Roseville man died during a collision on westbound I-580 east of Eden Canyon Road in unincorporated Alameda County early this morning, according to the California Highway Patrol. Several lanes on westbound I-580 were closed for almost 10 hours, bringing East Bay commute traffic to a crawl and prompting a Sig-alert, which has since been lifted.

A black sedan collided with a big-rig, affecting the driver's ability to steer the vehicle. The first big-rig came to rest in the middle of the freeway and was subsequently struck by a second big-rig, according to CHP

Officer Tyler Hahn.
The man driving the second big-rig died as a result of the collision. He's been identified as 62-year-old Maclovio Lopez of Roseville, according to the Alameda County coroner's bureau.

Personnel on the scene had to unload one of the trucks, which contributed to significant traffic delays. The collision was reported just after 4 a.m. Alameda County Fire crews responded to assist with the crash.
