All northbound lanes of Interstate 880 at 23rd Avenue in Oakland were closed for several hours early Saturday following an injury crash that caused steel girders to collapse onto the freeway, the California Highway Patrol said.

By 11:30 a.m., all northbound lanes were reopened, said CHP Officer Matthew Hamer.

A female motorist traveling northbound on the freeway at speeds reaching 100 mph lost control around 3:40 a.m. and struck beams supporting 85-foot-long steel girders at the site of construction on the 23rd Avenue overpass, Hamer said.

Three of the girders collapsed onto the freeway, blocking the northbound lanes. The southbound lanes remained open.

By 7:15 a.m., Caltrans arrived on scene with heavy equipment to lift the girders from the lanes, Hamer said.

The motorist — identified by the CHP only as a 28-year-old from Hayward — was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries described as non-life-threatening. She was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, Hamer said.

No one else was hurt.
