Authorities did not identify the person immediately Sunday, pending notification of relatives. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts.
The crash happened about 6:04 p.m. on northbound Interstate 880 south of Decoto Road, according to reports confirmed by the CHP early Sunday. The CHP said the driver was behind the wheel of a red Toyota Rav 4.
The CHP said more information on how the crash occurred may be available later Sunday. They did not say whether they suspect drugs or alcohol to have been involved.
In the aftermath, the far right three lanes of I-880 were blocked for about 45 minutes. The CHP opened the second-to-the-far-left lane at that point, but the two right lanes remained closed for more than an hour.
