How The Crash Happened

On the morning of April 29 at 3:41 a.m. driver James Mosqueda crashed his tanker truck full of gasoline on the southbound connector from I-80 to I-880 in Oakland, USA.

The tanker, carrying 8,600 gallons of gasoline, burst into flames causing a fire that reached the I-580 connector above. Bending steel that held up the I-580 connector caused the freeway to collapse. SFGate has an interactive presentation of how the crash happened

Watch a video of the actual collapse of the I-580 ramp.
