CASTRO VALLEY (CBS SF) — An injury hit-and-run crash on westbound Interstate 580 near the Eden Canyon offramp in Castro Valley Saturday morning sent a pickup crashing through a fence in the center divide, coming to rest partially on the BART tracks, according to the California Highway Patrol and a BART spokesman.
A Sig-alert was in effect and the far left lane was blocked while crews worked to repair damage caused by the crash, according to the CHP. Traffic on westbound I-580 near the Eden Canyon offramp was backed up for about three miles.

Around 10:30 a.m., BART announced that service was suspended on the Dublin/Pleasanton line between Castro Valley and West Dublin/Pleasanton station due to what the agency described as an earlier vehicle intrusion on the trackway.
BART service resumed on the Dublin/Pleasanton line around 1:30 p.m.
“We are now resuming train service between Castro Valley and West Dublin using one track that is not damaged following the 10 am. freeway collision that sent a vehicle partially onto our trackway,” BART spokesman Jim Allison said.
