[08-24-2022] Alameda County, CA – One Woman Severely Injured in Traffic Collision in Livermore

California Highway Patrol reported that a woman was seriously injured in a fiery collision on Interstate Highway 580 in Livermore on Wednesday, August 24, 2022.

The CHP Dublin office reported that the collision occurred at 2:47 on westbound 580, just east of Livermore Ave.

When police arrived, they discovered a seriously injured woman who was unconscious between a burning Toyota Camry and a Nissan Altima.

According to the CHP, the investigation would later reveal that there had been two separate collisions; a woman had crashed her Camry into a concrete wall and ended up resting in the fast lane.

She had been able to exit the car and was standing next to it when the Altima struck them both, causing the Camry to catch fire.

According to the CHP, Officer Abel Moran and Sergeant Michael Thomas battled through heat and smoke to seize the woman by the arms and drag her away from the fiery wreck.

They started performing CPR on the woman prior to the arrival of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.

Her condition was unknown when she was brought to Castro Valley’s Eden Hospital.

The second driver sustained only minor injuries.
