Nearly 75,000 vehicles used the damaged portion of the road every day. But because the accident occurred where three highways converge, authorities said it could cause problems for hundreds of thousands of commuters. State transportation officials said 280,000 commuters take the Bay Bridge into San Francisco each day.

James Mosqueda thought he was dying. His tanker truck hauling thousands of gallons of gasoline had just exploded on Oakland's MacArthur Maze, sending flames shooting 200 feet into the night sky.
Ten months on the job, the 51-year-old Mosqueda managed to pull himself from the rolled-over wreckage before the inferno burned so hot that within an hour steel girders beneath one freeway overpass melted like a marshmallow, collapsing the roadway onto the lower freeway deck.
The early Sunday morning blaze seared second-degree burns on the truck driver's face, hands and arms - and crippled part of one of the Bay Area's busiest freeway interchanges near the Bay Bridge, setting off an emergency declaration from the governor for a rebuilding effort that could take months. Speed suspected Authorities say Mosqueda was apparently speeding along the westbound Interstate 80 ramp that connects to southbound I-880 when he lost control of his tanker and slammed into a guardrail. Crawling from the passenger window, he walked nearly a mile in the West Oakland darkness before he came upon a cab driver pumping gas at an Arco station on West Grand Avenue.
Bet he's fired now
