A fiery three-vehicle crash early Monday killed two Oakland residents — one of them a 4-year-old girl who was not properly restrained in the car — and closed all northbound lanes of Interstate 880 in Oakland for about an hour, officials said.

The crash occurred about 5:05 a.m., just north of 16th Avenue in Oakland, according to the California Highway Patrol. A white Isuzu box truck was disabled in the second northbound lane of the highway with its hazard lights on when a black BMW traveling north struck the truck, then was hit by a Ford F-250, CHP officials said.

A child and a 32-year-old man riding in the BMW were killed, officials said.

“The driver of the BMW may face prosecution due to the unrestrained child’s death,” CHP said in a statement.

Three other occupants of the BMW — the driver and a female passenger, both in their early 20s, and a 2-year-old girl were hospitalized, according to CHP. All 3 live in Oakland, as well.

One of the cars caught fire, leaving a large amount of debris on the roadway, according to CHP.

The fatal crash occurred after an earlier four-vehicle wreck Monday also on Interstate 880 left the driver of a Honda Insight dead, sent another driver to the hospital and blocked all lanes of the freeway in San Leandro for two hours, officials said. All lanes were opened by about 4:00 a.m.
