Southbound Interstate 880 near San Leandro reopened on Monday morning after being closed for nearly eight hours while police investigated a shooting that left one driver critically injured with a head wound, the California Highway Patrol said.

The shooting was reported around 2:30 a.m. The victim’s car had apparently come to a stop in the center divider.

The identity of the victim and the circumstances of the shooting were not immediately known.

Trucks were allowed to use Interstate 580, from which they are usually banned, while the closure was in effect.

The freeway reopened shortly after 9 a.m.
